In sllusion to the story in the Nassau

Boston Traveller says:
The bark Lizzie, Captain Manson, sailed
hence May Atm for StetTin, and is supposed
to be the vessel; but we discredit the
whole story, for she would not be in the
West Indies, but off the banks of New
foundl4nd. The fellow Drsine, who cap

of the pirate, and we learned from Captain

The forcibls dipOssession by Governor

900 ~
The forcible ~dispOsession by Governor
Fletcher Of Missouri of Messrs Dryden and
Bsv, claiming to be Judges Of the Supreme
Court of Missouri from their seats, is csus-
inc considerable excitement in that State.
Az the preliminary facts are not known
outside of Missouri a brief statement Of
them will be interesting. NJ slre,I
The late State Convention in Missouri
psssed an ordinance vscating the Offices of
all Judges, Clerks, sc, in that Stat, sad
authorizing the Governor to au the
vacancies 6y appointment This ordinance
vas rendered necessary BY the mass OF DIS
loval incumbents who filed these offices
and interfered with the proper sction of
the state Government. Governor Fletcher
proceeded to set upon it but with great
discretion snd iiberality, Responding very
many officers In some cases resistance
was made, which was soon, however, over
come
The Judges of the Supreme Court, which,
a most importsnt, we're left TO the LAST
we're Barton Bates, SON Of the Hon. Ed
vsrd Bates, W. V. n. Bay and John s.;
DRYDEN. Judge Bates exhibited his dis
cretion by resighing about the time the or
dinanes wss passed, and the Governor sP-
no;ntsd Uay11 Wagner and Walter L.
Loyelsee to the places o. Messrs. Bay and
Dryden, leaving the vacancy, ocsssioned
by the resignation of Judge Bates, tc be
filed. II was Iumored, soms dSys ago, that
the latter gentlemen intended 70 resist the
sction- of the Governor by refusing to re-
tire. The 18th being the day fixed for the
meeting of the Court in St. Louis, there
wss considerable curiosity TO learn what
would be the result. The Clerk of the Court
and other minor officials were present when
the old Judges appeared and took theirseae
the Clerk, however, carrying the key q
his Office in his pocket, and the jsnitor
Absenling himself, TO be out of The
way when the crisis should Rrrive. A case
was taken up, and the hearing in progress,
when the Governors sppointees entered
and informed the old Judges that they
we're tesdy to take their seats but the In
cumbents refused 10 give way. Tbereupon
Judges Wagner and LovslAceI stired to the
council, appointed 3 temporary Clerk, and
Issued an order directing him 10 serve 8
copy of it on the old CLERK, and demand o.
him the papers, books and records OF the
Court. This was done, but the CLERK
refused to give up the documents.
Under these circumstances Governor
Fletcher could take but n course. 1
was his duty to execute the ordnance. L
was none of his business to judge of It's pol
icy or propriety. It was part Of the SOY
ereign law of the State, which he, IS Is
chief executive, was bound to enforce. ID
has done so, and in doing SO will be be suS
tanned by the opinions OF loyal men every
where.

If the telegraphis to be CREDITED, the new
Constitution Of Missouri which ends slss
very forever in that st4te' and is particular
" hard upon traitors, is adopted by a con.
siderable msf6rty. We sre highly graft
fed At the result the more 50, that We had
feared a oontFaIyfone. The opposition to
che Radical party of all shades was solid
against it, and the Radicals themselves
were, in 8 measure, divided in its support
the Radical Governor of the State Andsome
of the Radical German papers opposing it.
It was also feared that the large number of
men returned from the disbsnded rebel
armies to the State, would take the requiF-
ed osth and vote down the new GOnstitu-
ton. But it appears to have survived al
its perils, and though it Jared badly in St.
Louis, has been approved by the rural dis
tricts. b

DE- LIaHTHILL-Dear Sir: Allow me TO
express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered to my dsugh-
ter, whose ears have been BADLY affected
for many years, and for some months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing The
loss of this important sense is certainly q
and 70 q degree known only to those who
have experienced it. If, therefore, there
be 3 remedy Tor this great evil, the cause
of humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. l feel
it my duty, therefore, and it ,Hffords NE
much pleasure, to give my testimony to the
happy effects of your treatment and rene
dies. My daughter has suffered from deaf
ness tince early childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseefed The right ear,
also, for several years, was seriously Affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss ct hearing. 1t
WAS with extreme difficulty that she could
participate 10 the conversation of her
friends, and for two years has been de-
prived of this source of social enjoyment.
Happily my attention was director to your
advertisement, and l was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
care of q kind Providence, has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, 50 tar ssI can judge,
appears to be perfectly restored. WneIh-
er this restoration is permanent is a ques-
ton time alone can determine, but present
results are certainly very gratifying.

TAs the mstter now stands Mr.. Phillips
rests under the double imputstiOn of hav-

To the Editors of the EUening Post:
aThe reconstruction of the Southern

is evidently from the pen of an intelligent
writer, but in saying "No one can doubt
that if the rebels had been successful the
churches Of the O~onfederscy would soon
have been a unit in declaring slavery an
inviolable divine institution, % he no doubt
automatically overlooked q small but sn-
Gent church OF the South, which presents
| In its position points Of interest TO every
Christian mind.
TheS Society of friends in Virgins North
Carolina and East Tennessee consists of
thirty.seven congregations, numbering
about thirty-ave hundred persons.
During the war, the Virginia Meetings
maintained q close connection with the

belonged, and those in North Carolina and

The discipline of the society, prohibiting
the owning or hiring Of slaves, not only
! remained inviolate, but the members bore
an open an firm testimony sgainst slavery
and war, and we're loyal u the United
States Government This subjected them
to some persecution, but the society, never
thsless, received an accession Of over five

nent ministers of the South are already
travelling at the North on a gospel mission,
accredited by the usual Certificates"
IL We have no wish to intrude friends up

to maintsin its unity, from causes which
