Scandal about Royulty.

Inc recent marriage of the Queens
daughter, the Princess Helena, has Civ
ell rise to much unpleasant gossip about
the Court, and has caused great indig-
nationanong the people. Her husband,
Prince Christian, is stated to be forty-two
years OF age, while she is scarcely turn
ed twenty, and he is so unfortunate as
to have another wife living, German
Countess, With when he contracted Il
inorganic marriage many years ago, and
by whom he has had large family.
The English people have very old fash
Toned notions about marriage, and they
consider thai when Il man has sworn he
fore the altar to cleave to his wife, the
woman then present, that he is debarred
from taking another wife before death
or the Divorce court has released him
from the first. They cannot take Ger
man Princes view of the matter, that
the first marriage WAS only such in ii
"PickWickian sense' because the first
wife was not OF royal blood. The enor-
nifty OF the offence is increased by the
fact that he is Il beggarly Prince, whose
annual income does not exceed 81 900
per annum, and that he has lived for
many years on the bounty of his Wife,
the Countess.
Just 9lSN iOllS ~ HE MARRIAGE, Ile WAS
about to be arrested by d certain Lon
don tradesman whom he had favored
with orders iorjewelry cigars and clothes
when, fortunately, he was saved by the
generosity OF Il member Of the Royal
family, who wished to preserve the fam
lily honor. For 4 long time the Prince
OF Wales refused to countenanee the
wedding by his presence; and after his
consent was obtained. he refused to give
his sister away. But the Queen was
equal to the emergency, and did it her.
selt-she had resolved, with the stub
bornne.s of Il Guelph, that this marriage
should take place. From this and 9th
er causes Queen Victoria is fast losing
her popularity. This is clearly mani
tested in the comic papers, who ridicule
and lampoon her tavorites, the chief of
whom is the bigamist, Prince Christian.
Much scandal has also been caused by
her partiality to a Scotch body-servant
John Brown, who accompanies her
wherever she goes. He is a Spiritualist,
and maintains his power over the wan
ing intellect of"Her Majesty" by bring
ing her messages from her late husband
the Prince ConsOrt.-Frone London

VERA CRUZ, July 22.-The expecta-
ton here is that Maximilian will arrive
at any moment. Many reports are in
circulation regarding his looked for alb
dication and the views and doings Of
the French authorities in Mexico.
That MaSin,iian is going away i'm
mediately seems now to be regarded
everywhere as Il fact
The Austrian corvette Dandalon is
still fitting out. One hundred and fifty
casks were put on board her to day.
Rumor has it that Marshal Bazine
will order the forcible detention of Max
imiian if he attempts to abdicate in ia
vOr of Juarez.
VERA CRUZ, July 27.-The very latest
reports, letters. and ''secret" dispatches
received in this city by merchants, and
others from the interior hold that Maxi
milan will leave Mexico, very. very
soon.
There is even belief prevalent that
he will be here by Monday or Tuesday
next. Ii has been publicly announced
that he left the city Of Mexico some days
ago for Cuernavaca. At the same time
it was said that he made the change for
the benefit OF his health,

THE patriots in the Senate increased
their pay to $4,000 per year, leaving the
monstrous mileage charges as they are.
This will add 81 100000 Il year for the eX-
penses of the Senate, and 100000 for
the House.
4 call for the yeas and nays on this
motion was made, and was Immediate
ly suuelched 10y cries of "Don't! DON'T"
The coWardIy Senate feared to face the
record and meet the people after this
monstrons addition to the current ex-
penses Of the Government. We trust
when this matter goes to the House
that lone righteous man" may be found
who will insist upon a direct personal
vote. We have seen no better illustra-
ton than this Of the utter shamelessness
of Congress and its entire disregard OF
the interests of economy and the we'll
being of the country.-NeV York Com
mercial Aduertizer.
Thus said Republican organ when
the increase of salaries was pending be-
fore the Rump House. The action of
that body was even more contemplate
and cowardly than that of the Senate.
In order to avoid direct personal vote,
they tackled it upon the Soldiers bounty
bill, so that they could say they must
vote for an increase of their own salaries
in order to carry the latter. This pre-
tense was fraud and a lie, and was on
ly intended to cover up their tracks.
Who can have any respect for body
which is guilty Of such a disreputable
performance?

APOLOGY FOR THE CABLE TARIFF.

Mr.. Henry M. Field, brother of Cyrus

tariff charges says: "'The chief reason
which has determined the present tariff,

interest. | remember an expression in

while yet a boy twelve years of age, in

some little boy who had been for weeks
away from his dear mother, his eye

his face glowed more quickly than did
the eye and face of that venerable old
man when l pronounced the name Of
his mother. He started up in his pc
culiar manner, and emphatically said:

"Oh, what a testimony was that from
this venerable old man to his mother,

Hon THOMAS EWING ON THE SIrUA-

Hon THOMAS EWING ON THE SITUA-
Tlou.-The National Intelligencer of yes
terday contains long and able letter
from the Hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio.
Mr.. Ewing was a member Of General
Harrison's Cabinet, and is we'll known
throughout the country as an enlighten-
ed statesman. He reviews the policy of
the Radicals, and proves that they are
violating the Constitution and threaten
ing the country with ruin, The letter
contains arguments to which we cannot
subscribe, but they are powerful as
against the Radicals, for he agrees with
them in regarding this as consolidated
national government. He boldly de-
clares that the laws passed over the Pres
ident's veto are unconstitutional, and
counsels the Republicans to repeal the.
Civil Rights act, the Freedmen's Bureau
act, &c. We trust that this letter will
have good effect upon the northern
people.
says vs. :. tho remark Of . writer who lived
through the French Revolution, who
reasoned sagely, and who observed
much. that the remedy for popular pas
sions is to be found, not in despotism Or
arbitrary infliction, but in the assured
sovereignty of the law | concur in this
opinion"
Mr.. Ewing has been republican,; and
near the close of his letter says:
"My wish is that the Republican par
ty,very many ofwhose members high.
" appreciate. may return to the path of
constitutional rectitude, and walking in
that path, wish them a long and sue
cessflll administration of their appro-
pirate sphere in the affairs of govern
ment; but if they and the Constitution
and the Union cannot exist together, |
as earnestly desire theirspeedy and final
overthrow"
