Italians, in four corps, were moving to-

overcome great difficulties The Aus

armies, and every advantage Of position.
They can retire from ore almost impreg-

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-ln the debate
yesterday, on the bill allowing payment,
not exceeding $500, for stores furnished
the army, Mr. Howard said the bill was
very sweeping, and would involve great
outlay, He asked it the Committee on
the Judiciary had inquired how much
money would be taken out OF the Treas
ury under this bill
Mr.. Howard said the Committee had
not made the inquiry. aud no matter
what the amount was, he thought the
Government ought to pay it. The bill,
he said, only contemplated the payment
OF loyal men. Howard said he was OPP
posed 10 paying anybody in the South,
loyal or disloyal.
Mr. Trumbull thought that Southern
loyal men ought to be more promptly
paid than Northern men.
Mr. Howard retorted by saying they
were alien enemies and out of the
Union, which Mr. Trumbull denied, but
the matter was deferred

WAR ON LADIES.

Men are, according to the ladies, great
rascals-at times They are ever devil
sing aunoyances for them at home and
elsewhere, and putting them TO intolera-
bic torture. 1t has actually been decided
by court in New York that women are
entitled legally TO no more privileges in
public conveyances than men, and that
when the latter pay for seats they have
a perfect right TO occupy them so long as
they conduetthemselyes properly This
is monstrous. We shall next hear that
women are not entitled to occupy
more space in car than men
that they may be squeezed down

impunity. Behave themselves proper

THE OLD PRINCIPLES OF THE COY
ERNMENT -a-

There are a few good men who have
not bent the knee nor bowed the head to
the Baal of our times They are MOI likely
to do so, and afford rallying point for
all who can be reclaimed from the sea
of passion raging now around us. The
first politicians of the country appear to
hold in contempt both the spirit aud the
lessons of our past history, and 10 have
set up for the acceptance of men the
dogmas of those who, in our age of
reason" were generally admitted TO be
irresponsible fanatics. ARTHUR TAPPAS
and LLOYD GARRISON announced twenty
FIVE years since, the text of the sermon
now being rung into the popular ear.
Many who then thought il was treason,
have improved upon 1t, and rendered the
original quite tame when brought into
comparison with the doctrines ofthe pres
ent Congress ofthe United States These
two heroes of the country downfall have
passed into obscurity, and, strange as j.
may appear, there are men residing in
this city Of Memphis who far surpass
them in Radical religion TAPPAN, we
believe, is not now living GARRISON
has discontinued his paper, the Libera
tor, having. been thrown into the shade
by men who once thought thst hanging
was a punishment not severe enough for
his crimes
The man who now sits in the chair Of
MARSHALL is unable to rise above the
passions of partisan, but descends TO
the arena of party politics with all the
bronzed-faced facility of the most ur-
principled grogshop politician He is
VIGOROUSLY candidate for the office Of
President His judicial opinions are his
party principles AS Chief Justice, few
men doubt thai he would coustrue the Con
stitution IL the interest of his party, and
administer justice in such manner rs to-
subserve its ends, He is not onlya Radical
politician, he is a Radical jud.-
to the Congress, whatever doubt it en-
tertains OF Constitutional authority to
pass party measure, il removes by an
attempt TO change the organic law To- snt
the particular case. Every human irde.

duty is clear, simple and urgent They
must place themselves on the principles |
of the Government, not the new, but the |
old, before the Constitution was rent, and |
the columns of the old Temple of Lib
erty broken. Men Of every name, who
desire to see the structure rescued, and |
the beauty and glory of the old Govern.
ment restored, should unite and work to-
gether. There is. no need of party
platform. Every true friend of liberty
asks nothing more than to have restored
the old Union as It ipas. When that is
accomplished We can afford to divide into
parties Our battle cry should be, THE
