Minister Harvey Again.

Congress having struck from the appro.
priation bill the item providing for the pay.
mcnt of the minister to Portugal, and pro-
hibited the payment for the present year to
be made In any way, because Mr.. Harvey
had written private note to Mr.. Seward, in
which he criticized the action Of Congress,
the New York Commercial remarks:
"Had he condemned the President in even
severer language he would probably have
had an increase Of salary. Mr.. Harvey
calmly reviews the situation, and declares
the letter was private and addressed to Mr..
Seward in his individual capacity, and that it
was published without his knowledge.
ut is of very little consequence to the real
merits of this question, whether Mr.. Harvey
criticized Congress or not, The real point is,
that Congress was so frantic and ianatical
that it was determined to repress all express
sions of opinion not favorable to its own pur-
poses, and to dominate the free thoughts OF
public officers
ITO do this it adopted a sneaking course,
and so attempted to coerce opinion and to
make homOgeneity of sentiment. DenOunc.
ing the President because they found he
would prosecute officials who disagreed with
him, the Senate and House made effective q
similar prescription where they had the
power"

TROUBLE FEARED WITH BuEsos AYREs.-
In a late number of paper published at the
city Of Buenos Ayres it is stated that a
diplomatic conflict is imminent between Mr..
WAsHBuRsE, the United States Minister to
Paraguay, and the Government of Buenos
Ayres. 1t will be remembered that Buenos
Ayres and her allies, who are now waging
war against Paraguay, control oil the ave-
nues of approach to the latter country, and
they deny the American Minister permission
to pass into the Paraguayan lines. There
are several American war vessels now in
those waters, and it is stated that Mr., WASH
BuRNE threatens to force passage up the
Plata river If he is much longer denied ac-
cess to the country whittier he is sent. The
instructions given Mr.. WAsHBuRSE have not
been made public, but, 80 fur as the state Of
affairs is understood here, it appears that
Buenos Ayres is violating a plain principle
Of international law, when she refuses to the
diplomatic agent OF a neutral permission to
pass into her enemy's lines. The war in
South America is not civil war, but a con-
test between nations.

urbs Of that city have all been the work of
the gang which was arrested on Chelsea

formation on the strength of which the arrest
of LOWE was made. From KESxIsroS has

The New York Marital Club.

The New York Menus contains the follow
ing:
The latest phase Of fashionable financier-
ing has brought to light the existence of u
coterie Of enterprising young gentlemen,
some of whom, employed in the civic de-
partments, while Others, scattered through
out the various grades of metropolitan so
ciety, have organized themselves into ma
trimonial club, with certain Mr.. X as
chairman and a Mr.. G. us secretary with the
avowed object Of securing rich wives for the
members of the club. The range of this
matrimonial organic alton is not confined to
any special quarter OF the metropolis, but
extends its operations from New England to
the far West. -.
Those members Of the club who in their
daily avoCations or in society are introduced
to or bear mentioned the names of Young
ladies Of wealth, pursue minute inquiries as
to age and residence; whether an orphan or
If with parents; whether mother or father or
both, are living; the number OF brothers and
sisters, wealth or parents, and the amount
Of the daughters expected portion. The re-
suit of these inquiries arc carefully noted in
the books of the secretary.

played upon them, much IN this fashion: TO-.
"A wealthy man, one Of the vestry, in
spasm Of beneyolence, proposed to the YES
try to expend from his own pocket quite
large sum Of money in fixing up round the
church building, such as terracing, grading,
fencing, &c, which the society, already bur
dened witha church debt, felt themselves un-
able to do. The vestry, without authorizing,
gave it's consent to his doing, in the way Of
establishment, whatever he chose. and so the
Job was undertaken and completed some
time ago. Throughout the work the gentle
man has constantly assured the society and
outsiders that oil was being done at his own
expense. But no sooner had the society, by
a festival and fair, secured money to pay off
the church debt than this spasmodically
charitable individual sends in bill" for his
fixing" amounting to about $500, taking,
at one fell swoop, the entire results of some
very hard work, and throwing the society

Trade Between the United States
and Cuba.

On August 20 the Spanish Government
issued decree ordering that, for six months
after the day upon which such decree shall
be published in Havana no export duties
will be levied in Cuba upon articles now sub
ject to the regulations of the Spanish tariff,
and that no distinctions are to be made on
account of the nationality of vessels taking
in cargocs at any Cuban port. This provis-
ion will no doubt largely increase the export
trade Of Cuba, and be of great benefit to
American merchants importing Cuban pro-
auctions, The Custom House officers in the
Island are directed TO keep record of the
value of the articles exported during the six
months in which the decree will be in force
in order that it may be used for statistical
comparison.

The Dlsck sheep Among the south
ePm LOyalists. .l.H'.

When the statement that H. g. MORTON.
one Of the vagrant Southern loyalists who are
earning their bread and butter by making q
crusade in the North against The z RESIDENT
and the Union, had become disguised with
his mission and had determined to expose
the tergiversations Of the anti.restoration-
lists with whom he was raiding, it was
straightway declared by all good radical
prints in the East that MORTON was never a
good radical; that he had not the confidence
of the knowing ones among the faithful in
the radical church, and had wrung himself
in upon the sweet-scented BRowSLow,
HAMILTON, YARMOUTH, etc. This denial in
behalf of the so-called radical NORTON was
accepted readily enough by the public. for
it was well understood that the whole gang
of itinerants were shaky" set of adven-
turers; but now the radical papers are put
ting forth a new denial, to the effect that
NORTON is true and the pretended dispatch
of his was forgery. Well, no matter; it
is of little account to the country whether
these vagrant disunion "loyalists" lie or are
lied about. As soon as the bread and butter
with which their political friends are feeding
them fail, they will subside into obscurty.

SIR MORTON Pro has again come to grief
At a meeting Of the shareholders and bond
holders Of the London, Chatham, and Dover
railroad, it was stated that there had been an
overissue Of the company's bonds to the ex-
tent Of ELS, oOO-equal to nearly one-third
of the whole sum authorized The directors
all declared that they knew nothing about it,
and called on their constructor, Sir NJ. Pro,
to explain. Sir NJ. Pro acknowledged that
he had been instrumental in thus disposing
of documents which were in their nature
really as fraudulent as forgery; but said thai
if he had not done so he and the company
must have both stopped together-which
both have done since. OF course the affair
excited great dissatisfaction, especially among
the holders OF the worthless bonds.

We were informed, month or so ago. that

A Ship Race From China to Eng
land-Fourteen Thousand Miles
i'm Ninety-Nine Days. .
In, May five English. clipper ships started
from China for race to London. The Lon
don Telegraph Of September says:
The arrival yesterday in the Downs, of
Deal, Of three out of the FIVE clipper ships
engaged in the great ocean race from China
created much interest in the city, and was
looked Upon as q most extraordinary and un-
precedented circumstance. The ships en-
gagged in the contest were the Ariel, e53
tons the Fiery Cross $50 tons;n the Tae.
ping, 167 tons; the Taitsing, sl5 tons !; aud
the Serica, 70s tons. 2 The ships ore Laden
with the first cargo Of teas Of the season.
An additional freight Of ten shillings psr ton
is allowed the owner by tho consgnee of the
cargo 70 the first ship arrvingin dock, hence
the competitor for the prize. - n, ,.r.. .,s,,
The Serica Ariel, and Tapping passed
Foo-chow-foo bar for London all on one day,
the Both Of, May. The Fiery Cross sailed
from the same place on the previous day,
the 29th, and the Tatsing left on the 3lst.
The next heard from them was at Angler,
passed through on the 18th of June, the
huephs, ohu vi tuc
22d Of June, all within few hours Of each
other, running the distance from Foo-chow-
loo--about 2, $50 miles--in twenty three days.
Yesterday Lloyds agent telegraphed the
arrival of three of the ships in the Downs.
The Ariel and Tapping arrived at 8 o'clock,
and the Serica passed Deal at one o'clock p.
Ill. They had all steamtugs in attendance
on them, and were pushing on for the river
with oil expedition. They are expected at
Blackwell today. Up to late last evening
no news had been received of the Fiery
Cross-which won the race last year--or tho
Taitsing. l.l ...'as r1a .
The distance, l4,06O miles, was run in %
days, IAN average Of l4l miles day, and it
would appear that the Ariel and Tapping
ran almost neck and neck the whole passage,
the Serica following close in their wake. The
time taken in last years race was: Fiery
Cross, 100 days; the Black Prince, l31 days;
and the Flying Spur; 1871 days.

The Late storm and the Corn Crop
at the West.

ne ttInDThCeu Wltnln INC lnSL sew
enty-fve days has been an extraordinary
one-frst in regard to the quantity Of water
that has fallen, but more particularly because
Of the long continuance OF falling weather.
According to the record kept by gentlemen
who note the changes in the weather, it has
rained more or less every one of these seventy
five consecutive days. Three times within this
period the rains were heavy doing consider
able damage to crops, railroads and other
property. But the most destructive of these
fell within the last forty hours. This great
storm approached MS from the northwest,
and extended over Southern Illinois, the
whole Of Indiana and Ohio, and how much
further we are not able to state, our advices
from abroad being meagre, owing to the in
terruptiOn Of the telegraph wires. .. 10
10 estimate the extent Of the damage to
the corn crop on low lands, to railroads and
other property by the floods within the last
two days, would be hopeless undertaking
Railroad companies will be able to ascertain
their losses; and in places like indianapolis,
which have been partially submerged, ap-
pro1imate estimates OF damage can be made;
but the injury to the immense cornfelds in
the numerous fertile valleys which have
been oyerfiowed cannot SO easily be CON-
puted. Neither can we, as YET see the full
effect Of this disaster. so far as regards corn,
inasmuch as the rains continue to fall, with
no immediate prospect of that clear, dry
weather which is now absolutely necessary
to the maturity Of the crop. At this writing
e a. n.y. the barometer stands at 29.l0,
which is lower than it was during the preced-
ing twelve hours. The clouds are heavy and
rain is falling at short intervals.
The corn crop is certainly in most crit.
cal condition, and Notwithstanding the spen-
did promise we have had Of an unprecedcnt-
ed yield, so much now depends upon 1.-The
weather for four weeks to coms. TINT the 70.
suit cannot be predicated. A large quantity
we will certainly have, but its value is in
great danger Of being measurably destroyed.
The weather, therefore, for some weeks, will
he regarded with much more than ordinary
interest.--Oin! Gazette, Sept. 20. .. -r a..
