Richmond Examiner had an account of this
ball which held up every lady thus attend

memory of her dead kindred, false to her
native State, and callous to every noble i'm

Gen. Terry, commanding in Richmond, after
counseling with Gen. Grant, felt constrained
in tie interest of peace and loyalty. to sup
press the Examiner. The Editor came to
Washington and persuaded the President to
over-rule Gen. Grant and let him resume
his issues. To effect this, he told the Presi-
dent that the report of the ball g was writ

boast that the report had sold its entire

A SEA FERRY.-The travel is so great
between London and Paris that proposition
has been laid before the British Parliament
for the establishment of railway ferry
across the Channel, similar to that of Havre

STARTLING TO MARRIED PEoPLE-Ac
cording to the rulings of the District Court
in Philadelphia, the great majority of the
persons living together as husbands and
wives in the Commonwealth of Pennsylva
mia, were never legally married. This is a
startling proposition, but it is held that an
old law, enacted in l70l, declaring that in
tentIon of marriage must be published in
meeting and posted on meeting houses be
fore the ceremony can be legally performed,
is still IN force. Whether it is safe to de-
clare nine'tenths of the supposed marriage
couples of the State violators of the law in
this strange manner, remains to be seen.

CoTToN-Operations in the leading staple have

with their regular correspondence and with
the forwarding of shipments, while no incon.

the absence of later advices from Europe. Offer

have been restricted to 400 bales, taken in small

lists of previous purchases. Rates are nominally

Meaner than the Meanest.

The Enquirer on Sunday descended
to the meanest thing OF which it or any
other paper was ever before guilty. At
ter ridiculing as an ignoramous stran-
ger from the country who asks the edl
tor where he could procure picture Of
Mr. Lincoln, that paper says:
Mr.. Lincoln has been dead good
while, and is so very dead that, to find n
man anxious for his picture at this day,
carries US back to antiquity
Not so very dead but that the hate of
the Enquirer survives Not so very
dead but that the late Rebels and their
Northern sympathizers stand in terror
of his memory. Gentle as he was, the
enemies of the dag will remember him
to their dying day, as every good man
has been remembered by the wicked
whom his excellence rehuked
1t has been customary to let the dead
repose in peace, and if one cannot
speak well of the departed to keep 81
lent. But the Enquirer Is too intense in
its hatred of Mr.. Lincoln to observe this
rule of common decency. This shows
that Mr., Lincoln must have been great
man indeed, for how could w ak man
have excited such ineradicable hate in
those protesting the smartness OF the
chief men of the Enquirer2
But that paper evidently got ashamed
of this editorial, for all the other edito-
rails of Sunday except that one were in
the edition for Monday. 1t is to he ex-
pected that Sunday paper will do some
things too mean for week days.

What the President said to a Disloyal
Preacher.

A story is told in Washington of an
secesh clergyman from Alabama, of the
Pollard and Bishop Polk persuasion.-
His pulpit had been prostituted before
and since the war, to mischievous and
reasonable utterances. and when Gen
Thomas gave him formal notice to quit,
he posted off TO W ashington to see the
President and obtain Ibis rights The
President received him courteously,
arose from his seat, and gave him q
blessing, he will remember for life
time. Going back to the early days Of
the conspiracy against the Nation. lie

guilty before God" for the measure Of
