To THE MEMORY OF THE LATE Ex-Governor ALLEN.
Last Saturday the citizens of this place and the sur
rounding country, met at the court house in this city
for the purpose Of paying tribute to the memory Of
this late emtncnt gentleman. As mark Of respect,
nearly all Of our merchants closed their stores at the
tine specified for the ceremonies to commence. The
attendance vas large, and the ceremonies full and i'm
posing-fuly up to the expectations Of the greatest
admirers Of the late amented Henry w. Allen.
The euogy delivered by the Hon. Z. 7 Land was all
that could be asked--a succnct account Of his life,
with eloquent and appropriate comments. Tie funeral
sermon by the Rev. Mr. Marvin was really eloquent
and impressive causing the tears to flow freely from
The ewes Of bis attentive listeners
The proceedings were every way credtalde to a
christian community paying tribute to the memory
Of great and good man. May his ashes rest in
peace in his own loved State, and her citizens ever
bear Ills many virtues in remembrance. il oar earnest
prayer.

TrRE.-On Monday morning between oEe ana TWO
o'clock fire broke out in the furniture store oil
Nessrs Savers Williams under VoraHdah MOTEL
on the corner Of Milan and Spring streets, ara III
epite or every effort on the part Of the Femcn, the
whole Vernndah building and its contents were de-
stroyed The upper portion Of the building was occu-
MED bv Mr. Haussabrauk as a hotel, and the basement
bv Mcssrs. Pitts Thayer, auctionecrs and Savers
williams furniture dealers. Little or nothing was
saved from the dcyouring element. The loss will fall
heavily upou Mr. HaussabraGk, the owner OF the bull
ding as be had no insurance His loss is, probably,
in the ncighborhood of 100000. Mcssr& Pitts &
Thayers stock was in the neighborhood Of 200,
mon which there was no insurance. Besides, they
failed to save even their books. We have been in
formed that Messrs. Saycrs Williams we're insured
for $4,000, but we were unable to learn the amount
OF their stock At one time the Milan exchange bull
ding and Walsh Boisseaus warehouse, we're in in'-
mincnt danger, and it was only through the efforts Of
the fremcn and some Of the citizens that they were
saved from destruction. Had those buildings taken
fire, nothing could have saved the business portion Of
oar city. The origin Of the fire was undoubtedly the
werk of an inccndiary.

ScanhaIinH High Life.

The Baltimore American says there
has been considerable excitement for
some time past among the higher cir
cles of Baltimore society, relative to q
series Of anonymous letters, which have
been Of the most infamous character.
They have found their way into very
many households, and they have been
working their career of mischief for
nearly three years past. The author
commenced q series of scandal letters,
addressed to husbands, accusing their
wives of improper familiarity with men
and to wives, pretending to disclose
improper int!mscies on the part of
their husbands with the other sex
Fathers and mothers were also led to
great anxiety on account of their
daughters and sons, who were warned
by anonymous letters of their alleged
improprieties. Among the members
Of the Maryland Club and "Fhe Ger
man Club" there has been great con-
sternation and trouble, with much i'll
feeling and suspicion Of one another,
caused by letters received relative to
the alleged doings of their members
These letters are said to have number
ed several hundred, and bore the i'm
press of having been written by some
one who was On terms of intimacy and
perfect knowledge of the family rela-
tons of those to whom they were sd-
dressed They were written in style
that indicated the author to be highly
educated and perfectly familiar with
ancient and modern history, abound
ing in quotations and comparisons that
but few could be familiar with.
For two years past there have been
suspicious ahoat as to the authorship
of these letters, comparison of those
received by different parties having es-
tablished the fact that they all emR-
mated from one person. Several per
sons have been suspected at times, but
a few months since a lumOr was sud
denly put afloat as to a gentleman,
John Henry Keen, Jr., being the author
of them, although, both he and his
family had received large number of
these missives, and some of these of
most mischievous and offensive char
acter. Being unable to trace this ru-
NOR 10 any definite source, and being
unwilling TO rest under so grave an &C
cusation, he resolved to make an effort
to discover who was the real author
For this purpose he employed expe-
rienced detectives, and lobored some
two months in the investigation, du-
ring which time the missives were fly
ing about as usual. The matter has
now assumed such form that it will
be made the subject of legal investi-
cation before the courts. A spicy cor
Tespondence in relation to the matter
appears in the advertisement columns
of this mornings American, from which
it appears that Mr.. Keen was led, from
the evidence obtained by him, to
charge the wife of Frederick Bernsl,
representative of her Britannia Mai.
esty, with the authorship The matter
is still unsettled.

A dispatch from Chicago says Mr.
Scovel. the President Of the New Jersey
senate, who defeated the election Of an
United States Senator from that State,
has written a letter TO the Chicago Tri
bune in reply 10 some structures Of the
Washington correspondent Of that
Journal, who said that Scoyel spent q
long time in Washington, during the
winter. and contributed IS much as any
man 70 secure the rejection Of the
claims Of Mr. stockton 20 8 seat in the
Senate. Mr.. Scovel says There is no
truth in this statement have been
IN Washington but twice in four
months. and on neither occasion did /
say one word about the case Of Mr..
Stockton. 90 the contrary, my opin-
ION was publicly expressed that John
? stockton was legally elected, snd
that, therefore, be was illegally ousted
and that the man who most persistent
~ hurled stockton from bis seat in the
senate was not the man Who ought to
take the vacant chair in the senate.
Mr.. Soovel also says Millions would
not have tempted me to take the posi-.
ton / did; but having once taken il
and believing it 10 be right the whole
world in arms could not drive me for
one instant into the abandonment Of
my course lwOuld rather have been

Lewis ID. Campbell and the Mexican
Mission.


The length of time that has elapsed
since Mr. Campbell was nominated to
the Senate as Minister to Mexico, and
the refusal of that body thus far TO
confirm the nomination, warrant the
conclusion that no confirmation will
take place during the present session
of Congress. Recently the nOmi nation
was recommitted to the Committee on
Foreign Relations, of which Mr.. Sum-
ner is Chairman, and there I think it
will sleep the sleep that knows no
waking Two considerations lead NJ.
Sumner to take this course. One is
that Mr.. Campbell is an avowed friend
of the President and a warm advocate
of his policy, and the other is that Mr.
Sumner has little faith in the Republic
of Mexico 10 which Mr.. Campbell is
proposed to be accredited. On all
questions Of foreign policy the distin-
guished gentleman from Massachusetts,
is the most conservative man in Con
gress, Talk about the rights Of the be-
nighted African and he'll 90 to ex.
tremes, but suggest anything calculated
to irritate Louis Napoleon or Queen
Victoria and he'll pour oil upon the
troubled waters Immediately. Few per
sons will doubt the propriety Of his op-
position to Mr. Campbell's confrma-
ton, so far as it grows out of q belief
that no compensatiug benefit would &C.
crue to the United States from having
q minister at the Court Of Jusrez. the
local hsbitation of which is a matter of
veKatious uncertainty. For the pres
ent | think ~. H = the perambulatory
correspondent of the Commercial, will
do ali of the plenipoteutiary work
needed in behalf of the United States
in the halls of the Montezumas. If he
were 8 little more fixed in his habits,
and less given TO diving into 8 nation
at one end, and coming out al another
three days afterwsrd. he would answer
the purpose better; but as it is, he will
do. If Mr.. Seward wants the country
well represented in that section, he
will send V. II. his commission without
delay. Being q newspaper correspond
emit he is better qualified for diplomatic
purposes than any politician in the
land, and being attached to the Com
meroial he Is strictly loyal-Ca CON-
