Mr.. Thomas Swami, who was elected Unit,d States

the State in November, 1864, the Union ticket

election as Senator on the johnson platform. Tho
solitary obstacle TO ms election was an act passed by
the Maryland Legislature in 1909, which re.
Guires that of her Senators one shall be
chosen from the Eastern Shore, and one from the
Western Shore. AS both Senator johnson and Gov
Swami are residents of the Western Shore his cleo

act known as the Eastern Shore Law. Many Of the
Eastern Shore Democratic Senators objected TO its

ern Europe. All the Christian people subju-
gated by tho Turks will hail Cretan freedom
as an earnest of their own. Already, even in
the midst of fighting and starving, the enlight-
ened spirit of the patriots and the civilization
for which they are fighting are expressed in
the establishment of liberal journal,
the Crete-the first daily paper that
the island has had. Under the rule of the
Turk, Grecian intellect lay crushed; but with
the Emancipation from that yoke will come not
only newspapers, but schools, churches, manu-
features, commerce, science, art, all that
freedom ,creates without an effort, and
despotism vainly struggles to prevent. This
meeting should be but the beginning of
the movement in this city in aid of the
Cretans Let all who can, and there are
few who cannot, give money and time to the
fund, which, under the charge of some of our
best men, will assuredly be well managed and
faithfully applied. The future of Greece may
yet be more truly great than her past, and the
prophecy be fulfilled
"Another Athens shall arise,
And to remOter time
Bequeath the glory OF her skies,
The splendor Of her prime"

then, as it seeks now, to raise clamor about
details and excite odium by imputing unworthy
motives to such men as Henry Clay, "aser
Forward, Theodore Frelinghuysen, and Johh
Davis. 1t threatened then, as it threatens now
those who voted for Protection with popular
wrath and ostracism; yet neither the Tariff oil
1923 nor that of 1912 was beaten by making
fair issue upon and carrying the country against
it. Each of them was undermined and sub
verted by indirection and subtlety, by COM
mending Gen. Jackson and James X. Polk as
themselves Protectionists, by parading the Cole
man letter Of the former and the Kane letter OF
the latter. The people will not be so cheated
a third time.
All chat can now be said as to Protection in
creasing prices, paralyzing commerce, destroy
ing revenue, &C., The Post has urged against
former PROTECTIVE Tariffs, by whose operation
they were signally .confuted. So 1T Will be

Elsewhere we present the most curious and
instructive features of the State census OF
1865. Though not yet published in off
cial shape, the statement of DR.. Hough
to tho Board of Supervisors enables
us to give good part of its best sub
stance From the important chapter showing
by figures the varying intensity of political
campaigns, We learn that in the last there was
a greater proportion of voters to population
than at any former times. Astonishing as it
may be- there are eighteen centenarians in
this city of tenements and saloons, and eleven
of these are of Irish birth. There are 14S,GS3
families in the city, 1900 of which with
out children 1Gi ,934 Irish, and 107,2GO German
persons. The full statistics are very compre-
hensivc and abound in suggestion.

It is not surprising to hear that one of the
counties of Texas is in a state of reconstructive
grace that looks like rebellion. Bowie County,
having MORALLY wounded Union officer, after
killing his wife, defes the soldiers of the

than murder and rebellion in the States blessed

PROFESSOR AGAssrz's LEcrUREs.-A course of lee
lures by Professor Agassz is announced for delivery
in this city before the NewYork Association for the
Advancement of Science. in the month of February.
The course will consist of five lectures descriptive of
the Professors recent explorations in the valley Of
the Amazon including full account of the physical
geography and natural history of that interesting
portion of South America. Among the topics treated
by Professor Agassz, the ancient tropical glaciers
cannot fail to attract the attention of intelligent
listeners well from the nature of the subject as
from the ample knowledge and comprehensive views
which he brings to its discussion. For many years,
be devoted his personal researches to the glaciers OF
the Alps pitching his tent in the Summer season in
the region of perpetual snow, and establishing
illusions of great importance which have been adopted
as the basis of subsequent inquiries. His descrip-
tions OF the animal kingdom in Brazil promise to be
equally attractive and the public of New-York NAV
well be congratulated that such an opportunity Of
instruction and entertainment is to be brought to
their very doors.

Gen. Sheridan, in refusing to allow civic
hOnors to be paid to the body of the Rebel
Gen. Johnston, hasa new claim upon the
respect of the nation. In his brief letter to
the Mayor of Galveston, Texas, he says: Il
shave too much regard for the memory of the
"brave men who died to preserve our Govern
"ment, to authorize Confederate demonstra-
" tons over the remains of any one who at
tempted to destroy it." These are noble
words, and will ring through the land.

PRESIDENTMAEING.

Mr.. Vim. Cornell Jewett, who had called a
Convention to meet and dominate Presiden-
tial ticket in December last, and then post
poned it, finally announces, through the sub
Joined card, his withdrawal from the field, and
his transfer of the whole business of President
making to the Radical power of Congress"
This is the most sensible conclusion which Mr..
Jewett could have attained. And now, if "the
Radical power" aforesaid, and all other pow
ers, will just let President making alone for
at least year, and attend to the more urgent
matters of National restoration on the basis of
All Rights for All, they will evince at least
equal sagacity and patriotism 1t will not DC
time to begin to make another President before
next Christmas at the earliest. But let us near
Mr.. Jewett's manifesto:

tons was announced December, 1856 me cOnuluoh
