WHAT THE LUxExRpRs SETTLEMENT
AMOUNTS 7o.-One Of the leading German
papers OF the United States, the New
York Belletristisohes, says,
"rhe Luxemburg difficulty has been a.
ranged so that Holland retains the Duchy !;
its neutrality is guaranteed by the powers
Of Europe, the fortress to be RACED and
evacuated by Prussia within month.
The treaty has already hsen ratified. We
will not conceal the fact that we regard
this arrangement as national humiliation
and disgrace, as well as great misfa-
tune. Peace will not be permanently
secured by it. and this is the uaiyersa
impression.

Legal Proceedings to Compel the
Registration Of Certain Voters.

An application was made to the Su.
preme Court Of this district several DAYS
ago for q mandamus to compel the judges
OF election to place the names Of certain
citizens on the registry Of voters. Tho
Court to-day, through Judges DIN, Fisher
and Wiley, delivered separate opinions, all
arriving at the same result, viz; That the
matldamus could not lie until after The ex.
plfatiop Of the two days allowed by law for
the correction Of the poll lists. The par1
tlcular circumstances Of The four or Eve
cases presented were discussed including.
that Of Dr. Boyd, who had heretofore BEEN
convicted on two indictments of aidiDq|
and assisting the escape Of slaves, and SEN,
fenced to imprisonment In the Penitentiaryf
for fourteen years but who, after servina
eighteen months Of the term, vas pardoned
BY President Lincoln. DR.. Boyd, on beind
denied by the Judge the privilege Of hav4
ing his name registered, on the ground that
be had been convicted Of an infamous Off
fence, produced his pardon but this was(
not considered by them sufficient evidence
OF his right to vote. Judge Olin, il de-
liyering his opinion to-day, held that the
pardon restored DR.. Boyd to the possession
Of his civil rights, but Judge Fisher Aeld
that the fact of pardon would not permit
him to vote If the offence Of which ke had
been convicted was infamous. The statute
under which he was convicted was mott in
the nature Of . penal law Of disfranehise.
ment, and therefore did not apply in this
case; but the offence was not known at
common law as an Infamous crime, which
applied only to convictions maxim In Sc.
or against the law Of God. So Dr.. Boyd
was entitled to have bis name registered.
No remedy, however, could apply until Of.
ter the expiration Of the two days allowed
BY law for the correction Of the poll list.
This subject derives additional importance
from the fact that but comparatively few
white voters presented themselves for reg
istration in the First and Second Wards
where the blacks hare . majority owing to
the default Of white citizens, many Of whom
are now desirous Of having the books re-
opened in order that they may register

THE LIGHT or A cHEEFUL FACE.

There Is no greater every day virtue than
cheerfulness. This quality IN men, among
men, is like sunshine to the day or gentle,
renewing moisture to paTched hearts. The
light of a cheerful face diffuses itself, and
communicates the happy spirit that inspires
ii. The sourest temper must sweeten in
the atmosphere of continuous good humor
As well might fog and cloud and vapor,
hope to cling tothe sun illumined landscape
as the blues and moroseness to combat io-
vial speech and exhilirating laughter. Be
cheerful always. There is no path easier
travelled, no load but viii be lighter, no
shadow on heart or brain but viii lift sooner
in presence of a determined cheerfulness
1t may at times seem difficult for the hap
piest tempered to keep the countenance of
peace and content but the difficulty viii
vanish when we truly consider that sullen
gloom and passionate despair do nothing but
multiply thorns and thicken sorrows IL
comes to US as providentially as good-and
is as good, if we rightly apply Its lessons ;
why not, then, cheerfully accept the Ill, and
thus blunt its apparent sting? Cheerful
ness ought 10 be the fruit of philosophy and
Christianity What is gained by peevish-
ness and fretfulness-by perEerse sadness
and sullenness If we are Ill, let us be
cheered BY the trust that we shall be In
health if misfortunes befall US, let US be
cheered by hopeful visions Of better fortune;
if death robs US Of the dear little ones, LEI
us be cheered by the thought that they are
only gone before, to the blissful bowers
where we shall meet to part no more foreV-
er. Cultivate cheerfulness, if only for per-
sonal profit. You viii do and bear every
duty and burden better by being cheerful.
II viii be your eonsoler in solitude, your
passport and commendation in society. You
will be more sought after, more trusted ano
esteemed for your steady cheerfulness. The
bad, the vicious, may be boisterously gas
and vulgarly humorous, but seldom or nev-
er truly cheerful. Genuine cheerfulness is
an almost certain index of a happy mind
and pure, good heart.
