PRACTICAL M1scEGEN1sr.-W. Pat
ten, Esq, Of Towando, Pa, in a let
ter published in yesterdays Philadel-
phia Sunday transcript, addressed to
the Hon. haddeusaStevens, says:
"You have been yourself (meaning
Stevens) a practical miscegenist, with
visible fruits of the practical opera
ton of your doctrine; and, not only
so, but have compounded the legiti-
mate claims of sable rival to the
object of your indulgence. This na-
turaily accounts for your overwhelm-
ing zeal in your advocacy of negro
suffrage"
The pith Of this is, that Stevens is
living with the colored wife of a
colored barber, and that he has black
and-tan responsibilities in conse-
quence. = Washington Mirror.

MEXICAN ITEMS. Mr. George Bar
ton, just arrived at Galveston from
Cordova, Mexico, informs the Ne,rs
that General Price was sick when he
left. Both Price and Shelby would
be glad to get back, if they could re-
turn safely.
Mr.. Barton tried to make living
at Cordova, but had to give it up.
He reports that the Liberals We're
steadily regaining possession of the
strategic points, and it was the gene
raj impression that Maximilian was
preparing to leave.
The Rio Grande sBrowAsville)
Courier, of the 10Th ultimo, gives
anything but favorable account of
the treatment of American citizens
IN Mexico by their "friends," the
Liberals. . 1t says they are slaugh-
tered, robbed, imprisoned, and sub
lected to various other outrages, with
no regard whatever paid to the regu-
latlons, under existing treaties, for
mutual protection of the citizens of
the two countries.

RADICAL ISLANDERS OF Union Sor.

RADICAL ISLANDERS OF Union So1-
DIERs. During the session of the
Soldiers and Sailors Convention. the
radical papers assailed them bitterly.
One of these assaults, and the man
ner of its reception, is thus stated by
the New York HeraldS correspond
ent:
A rabid radical paper assails the
Convention as being run by "a set
of bogus soldiers, militia officers,
who never saw real service in the war
against the rebellion. An amusing
incident occurred in connection with
this SANDER Of q stay home radical.
ihe paragraph was read at the break
fast-table of one Of the hotels by Col.
brown, of the Twenty Eighth New
York Regiment, who held the paper
somewhat awkwardly, in consequence
OF having left one of his arms with
the rebels of Virginia. The manned
soldier called the attention of his next
nelghbor to the statement, who hap
pened to be Captain Eupont, of the
Fourth Michigan Regiment. The
Captain took the paperand proceeded
to read the offensive article, which he
was compelled to hold in close prox-
unity to his face, through having lost
his. right eye by Minie-balI, at
Gaines Mill, where he was taken
prisoner, and reported on our side
dead. The Captain had scarcely
finished reading, before he was tapped
on the shoulder by an old army ac-
qualntance, Captain j. l.. Moon, of
the Tenth Pennsylvania Reserves, a
resident of Illinois, whose attention
he IN turn called to the radical slur.
The Captain read it with a smile, and
then left the breakfast-room with the
usual gait incident to a cork-leg, with
which he is supplied in place of the
one he lost at Cold Harbor, Virginia.

Russian journals, published in Mos
cow and st. Petersburg give stimuli
taneous expression to the opinion
that Europe is on the evy f another
great war convulsion in consequence
OF the complications already existing
and likely to be evolved in the South
east. 1t is intimated that Russia may
wish to be compensated for the ''heavy
blows" which have been inflicted on
her interest in the Baltic during the
last few years.

Gen, Grant is growing more and
more in disfavor with the radicals.
Not being able to use him, they can
scarcely conceal their disgust. Thus
Jack Hamilton, in speech the tele
graph reports him making at Cleve-
land, alternated his usual abuse of
the President with assaults on Con-
gress, and said that if Andrew john
son should be deposed by a writ of
impeachment, and any military COM
mander-even Grant himself should
respond to his call on the military.
that commander would be unmade
even more speedily than he had been
made. Jack forgot to say who was
to "bell the cat, but doubtless Gen.
Butler, himself and other brave men
are ready for the job. We fear it is
all up with Gen. Grant.

CIVIL RIGHTS. In the Criminal
court, yesterday, G. E. H. Day, Esq,
caused some excitement among mem
bers Of the bar by moving the admis-
sion to practice of Jonathan J.
Wright, full-blooded negro. Judge
Fisher appointed Messrs. Z. G. Car
rlngton, w. S. Cox and S. L. Phil
lips committee to examine the ap-
pllcant. The motion caused good
deal of indignant conversation among
members Of the bar, as no such mo-
ton was ever before thought of in the
courts OF the District of Columbia.
Wright is about twenty-eight years in
age. He studied law with a firm of
Scrantan, Pa, where he was admitted
to the bar, and he is said to be a
classical scholar.

THREATENED REVOLUTION IN ENG
LAND.-The New York He,'uld's Lon
don correspondent, writing on the
18th Of September, treats the reform
agitation in England as an unmis-
taxable symptom Of a coming revolu-
tlon IN that country-a struggle which
will eventuate in the people taking
the management of the Government
IN their own hands. The widespread
combination of the Fenians in Ire
land, the terrible mortality by actual
famine in India, with the late rebel
lion of the Jamaica negroes and its
consequences, are cited to prove that
its change would benefit the subjects
of Britain at home and abroad.

The Tax Lcvy-

We are gratifed to announce tni'
morning that the Board of Supervisors
atits meeting yesterday fixed the county
tax for the ensuing year at 1873 per cent
or one dollar and thirty-three cents on
the hundred dollars. The bank debt
was divided into three annual payments
but we have not the figures upon which
the entire levy was based. We will
probably be able to publish them to-
morrow morning.
When it is recollected that the TAI
last year was $3.50 on the hundred, and
that the rate for the ensuing year Ii
but little more than half Of the formel
one, the taxpayers will probably b
able to see that some advantage, at least
has resulted from the Democratic victory
won on the oath of May. The new BOARD
of Supervisors deserves and will receive
the thanks of the people for the very
material lessening of the burden of taxa
ton which has been effected; and, we
are well assured, that the wisdom mani
tested in their refusal to levy tax suf-
fcieut to pay the whole debt in a single
year, will be very generally approved.

Editors Of the Register:
We were struck by noticing in your
paper of Thursday morning, June 2lst,
the following:
"THE BOYD CASE We see by the pro-
ceedings of Presbyterian General AS
sembly, which recently met at st. LOUIS,
that the case of Rev. Samuel Boyd,
formerly of Bridgeport, has been settled.
The history of the case is as follows:
First, Mr.. Boyd asked for dismissal
from the Presbytery of st. Clairsville.
which was refused on the ground that
he had, without just reason, separated
from his wife; Boyd demanded full in.
yestigation; the Presbytery tried him,
found him guilty Of unlawful separation,
and deprived him of church membership
and deposed him from the ministry.
Boyd appealed to the Synod Of Wheel:
ing, which body sustained the action OF
the Presbytery in deposing, but restored
him to church privileges. The case was
then carried to the General Assembly at
st. Louis upon IN appeal of Boyd. There
the matter was investigated and the &C
ton of the Synod of Wheeling sustain
ed. So that, by the highest tribunal of
the Presbyterian church Mr.. Boyd is de.
posed from the ministry. The case is
ended; there is no further appeal
Now, Mr.. Baker, we call your atten-
ton to the following official protest:
Saturday, June I'd, in the General AS
sembly at st. Louis, Mr.. II. K. Clarke
arose, on behalf Of himself and others, to
enter a dissent as follows: THE under
signed dissent from the judgment of the
Assembly in the appeal Of Rev. Samuel
Boyd against the Synod OF Wheeling,
for the following reasons: lst, the only
charge alleged by common fame against
Mr.. BOYD before the Presbytery of st.
Clairsville, is that he was Giving sepa-
rate from his wife" No specification OF
the character of this separation, whether
for sufficient reasons or not, or whether
involving immortality or not, appears on
the record; hor has any such specltica-
ton been brought to the notice of this
Assembly. I'd, No evidence of the charge
has been read ia the presence of the
Assembly" 1his court was therefore
called upon to pronounce upon the issue
of the guilt or innocence of Mr.. Boyd,
in entire ignorance of the testimony by
which that guilt or innocence may be
determined The Book of Discipline
prescribes the order of proceeding in the
trial of appeals in judicial cases, chapter
9Th, section Sd, and sections 9Th and 9th
This order ccnfers substantial rights
upon parties, aud presents specific du
ties a. this cour, 1t requires the read

dustrious citizens i'll this part of the
State are making arrangements, l learn,
to leave, and seek homes farther west
and within the new States and terrific
ries.
Will you allow me; through the col
urans of your paper to call the atten
| ton of this class to the rare advantages
offered hy Minnesota to emigrants ofev-
cry age AID pursuit in life!
First of all. the climate Is emneutly
healthy. From residence of fourteen
wears in tho north par, of the State, |
am able unequivocally to state that, on
the score of health, Minnesota is with
out an equal in the Union. The fever
aud aguo which sogenerally prevails in
Illinois, Indiana and other western
States, has never yet found its way into
Minnesota
Minnesota is without a rival as an ag-
iicultural district As wheat growing
State, from the statistics of the last year,
it occupies the very front rank Last
month, in Chicago, Minnesota wheat"
quoting from commercial reports, stood
high above all Other descriptions of
wheat"
For potatoes of the finest flavor and
growth, know of no other country
that is at all comparable. Five hun.
dred bushels to the acre is not an un.
common yield in good season. Oats
also do well i'll all parts of the State.
Corn averages about thirty bushels to
the acre, which is less than the yield in
West Virginia; but in every other de.
scription of product the crop is better
and more certain.
Under the Homestead act, the immi
gets one hundred and sixty acres OF
lerel, fertile land, embracing wood, wa
ter and prairie, for the trifling sum of
fourteen dollars.
The State is rapidly filling up with a
busy, enterprising population. An ex-
cellent system of railroads is being Wig
orously pushed forward to completion.
Every sixteenth section in each town
ship of the State is sacredly set apart
for school purposes, insu.ing a splendid
and permanent school fund for all time
Business of all kinds is prosperous, and
labor of all descriptions remunerative.
Superadded to all this, which points
out Minnesota as a "good land for the
man who is leaving with his family, his
old home for another country, is the
Vermilion gold mines, recently discover
