HENRY WARD BEECHER has lately
beed pitching into the practice of work
inc railroad conductors on Sunday. The
other day Mr.. Beecher, in his own pecu-
liar way, was making inquiries of a con-
dutor to whom he was unknown, as to
whether the Sunday riding could not be
broken up. Il think it might be-" said
the conductor, "but for that confounded
fellow Beecher. So many fancy people
from all parts visit his establishment
that it makes the road profitable. If he
would only shut up, the thing could be

George Francis Train ON the Rndi-
Gals. ...

Gals. ... .
Few men can put point at issue in
more telling terms than George Francis
Train. Take the following as an exam
pie. The extract is from a late letter to
a New York journal on the Irish and the
President: ~ 30
The copperhead, rebel, disloyal, dis
union club of Fifteen, led by the faro
table chieftain of Congress, has made a
bid for your votes. Don't be swindled.
Irish votes cannot be bought and sold.
There is the mistake our people have
made. But Irishmen have been before
and may again DO deceived by their So
called leaders. Let them try it this
time, and curse will blacken their po-
litical life forever.
What; cnrse Them Aye from every stone:
On the green sward of history
Should gush the awful monotone
That tells their monstrous infamy.
Curse theml Why, every mountain peak
Should find tongue TO damn their name
The hills should hear the valleys shrek
Their immortalities Of shame.
Each brooklet in its winding course,
Should babble its vindictive curse.
A detected burglar cries, stop thief -
so some of these disappointed men
strive to turn the Irish wrath against
the President, and save themselve4 from
being torn limb from limb by those W 10
have swindled them out of tbrir hard
earned gains.
You have one friend in the country
who never sneered at your race--Dever
called you as the Radicals do, id
Irishmen. That man is the head centre
of constitutional liberty in this grand
enneSsee--a name you have ri,rosed
with me before hundred audience
Who fought almost siuSlehanded, that
gigantic conspiracy against ;hc Know
Nolhiugs2 Andrew Johns"n.
Who made that rloqueuf speech IN de
fcnse o. the Catholics, against Cling
NAV Andrew johnson
Who refused to tax the Irish, III order
to make grand pauper house for ne
groes, by veteipg the infamous Freed
meu's Bureau bill! Andrew johnson.
Who furnished transportation for the
Feniau army after their leaders had
swindled them into crossing the Cana
dian border? Andrew Johnson.
Who, i'll his grand inaugural speech,
offended foreigu and domestic autocrats
by saying that he was of the people and
with the people, and that all bower
came from the people? Andrew John
son. 81
Who called Stevens, Sumner and Phil.
lips traitors, in his 22d of February
speech, because they intended to eutran-
chise the negro and distranchise the
Irishman? Andrew Johnson.
Who solemnly swore, so help him God,
that there shall be no eleven Irelands in
the South? Andrew johnson.
Then stand by the guns, boys, and vote
down the Black House at one end of the
avenue and vote up the White House at
the other.
Ii the Irish discover that their leaders
are cheating them, may God have mercy
on their souls! The so-called repeal
of neutrality laws is the last radical
swindle. --... ga

CHOLERA IN RICHMOND.
Advices received here from Richmond
state that the cholera has broken oat
there, and is raging with some violence;
Tins far it's ravages have been cenflned
In the negroes and soldiers. UP to THIS
morning. five deaths had occurred among
the negroes in the city, and ten among
tLe soldiers at Fort jackson. Consider
ahIe alarm exists in consequence OF tins,
and active measures are being taken both
nv the military and civil authorities to
prevent the epidemic assuming moro
alarming proportions.
WELL RECEIVED. ..u
The Declaration of Principles OF the
Philadelphia Convention were puplsned
here this afternoon and excite some com
ment. 1t is regarded as an admirably
prepared document, and as expressing
the views of those whom the Conyen-
ton represent in a conciliatory manner,
and as calculated to promote the har-
mony and unity in the ranks OF the Con
servatiye party. The friends OF the
President and his policy are enthusiastic
in their concentrations of it.
REVENUE RECEIPTS.
The receipt from Internal Revenue to-
day amounted to S836,OOO.
ANXIOUS ABOUT OFFICES.
There were no appointments made by
the President yesterday, and those who
ara on the anxious seat are confident
that now the great Convention has COM
plered it's work, and adjourned, they
shall soon be put out of their misery. 1t
is doubtful, however, whether any gen.
eral change of officials will be made IN
any event until after the Presidents
return from Chicago. This statement
has been made to day by well-iDformed
parties.
THE RUSH TO WASHINGTON.
The rush of visitors expected here up.
on the adjournment of the Philadelphia
Convention commenced this evening.
The number of arrivals by trains having
been much larger than for several days
past. The visit of the Committee APP
pointed by the Convention to wait upon
the President will doubtless be accom-
panied by large numbers of members
and others anxious to witness the inter
view. Among the arrivals here tonight
was that of Dean Richmond, OF New
York.
THE PRESIDENT PLEASED.
The President is highly pleased with
the proceedings and results of the Con-
vention thus far, and has been in excel
lent spirits all day, He regards the har-
mony and patriotism there displayed as
a certain indication Of the success Of
the conservatives, and of an indorse-
ment of his policy by the people.

Gov. WIsE's PROPERTY RESTORED
Another evidence of the sincerity of

by the Government. We are glad to see
this action on the part of the President,
