Hebrew SfatesmnnshiD.

England has been again reinstated in
the prominent position she formerly occu-
pied in the family of European nations, by
the credit of having settled the Luxembourg
difficulty and preserved the peace of
Europe, which is unquestionably the result
of her wisdom and craftsmanship. A con
temporary claims that though Lord Stanley
represented Great Britain in the confer
ence, and was the president, BENJAMIN
Disraeli was the leading spirit in the move
ment from the first, and is the controlling
statesman in the English government. We
know not what grounds there may be for
all this, but, assuming it to be true, the
writer goes on to eXclaim GA Jew con-
trolls the destiny of England. A Jew has
restored to that proud nation the prestige
and position she was fast losing through
the imbecility of her aristocracy and the
timidity of her capitalists" After all this,
it is strange piece of inconsistency to see
the same journal expressing doubts whether
Disrael, suppOsing him to be jew would
be q safe person at the helm of State,
should the revolution break out which nm
derlies society in Europe. Would not this
speculative, romancing statesman, in that
event, prefer ambition to country, and be-
come leader of revolutiOnists, instead of
defending order and privileges, as the rep
aristOcracy would do.
The only reason intimated for such sus-
picion is that he is Jew, and belongs to
race that claims a separate and distinct ma
tionality from the rest of the world. 1t is
curious to see such adepreciation Of Jewish
character in an American writer A Cath
Ole Admiral saved England in the time Of
the Great Armada, and man of Hebrew
origin has just plucked up her drowning
honor" from the wave in which it was sink
ing. What has religion to do with patriot
ism? Men of the Hebrew faith are rs true
to their native land, here and in Europe,
as any any other class of men. They have
as much to lose as others, some of them
great deal more, and hence are not favora-
BILE to revolution. The revolutionists in
every country have been identified in race
and religion with the people revolu
tionized. Mr.. Disraeli is at this mo.
ment a more conservative man than half
the Saxon and Norman politicians.

ColOred Conservatives.

There are indications all over the South
of distrust on the part of the freedmen
towards their pretended radical friends.
At Nashville on the Goth instant, large
meeting was held of colored citizens who
avowed themselves conservative, and spoke
and passed resolutions and acted in all re-
spects like an assemblage of sensible white
men North or South. Meetings of this
character, where the participants rise su-
perior to the strong influences which sur
rounded them, and which are nowherr
more powerful than in Tennessee, under
Brownlow's administration-ar encourag-
ing signs. White men in both sections
could learn useful lesson from that hon
orably discharged negro soldier, who spoke
in Nashville the other night as follows
AS man who stood up in defence of his
country-he would give his voice for the
restoration of those who have been disfran-
chised. The colored people should give
them justice now, that when they come in
to power they might do the colored people
justice in return. He could look his race
in the face and say he fought for their free
dom, and he was opposed to men going
through the State appealing to them to
vote taking the bread out of their own
mouths and out of the mouths of their
children. If such men were to be listened
to, determination, as Brownlow had said
and wished, would surely come.

a fact, that publishers of newspapers are
more poorly rewarded than any other class
of men in the United States who invest AN
equal amount of labor, capital and thought.
They are expected to do more work for less

heading, to puff and defend more people
without fee or hope of reward, than any
other class.
They credit wider and longer. get ofter

A Brilliaut MatrimonisI Event

The First Baptist Church i'll this city was
crowded last evening by one of the largest
and most fashionable audiences ever as
sembled within its walls The occasion
was one Of SURPRISING interest. 1t Wines-
sed the matrimonial union of Rev. J. L..
NJ. Curry, of Alabama, and Miss Mary
Workman Thomas, the amiable and accom-
plishcd daughter of James Thomas, Esq,
of this city. The holy and interesting
rites were solemnizCd 10y the Rev. J. l..
Burrows. d. D., assisted by the Rev Will
liam u. Thomas, brother of the bride, and
at present residing i'll Greenvilo, South
Carolina. Several other members of the
clerical profession were present. Among
them we noticed the Eevs. MessTs Hume,
senior and Junior.
The happy groom on this interesting
occasion enjoys most enviable and world
wide fame, having served in both the Fed
eral and Confederate Congress with such
distinguished ability as to elicit from Hon.
Horace Greedy the extraordinary compli-
ment that he possessed all the brains of the
entire Alabama delegation" His accom-
plished bride, moving in the proper sphere
of woman, is not SO widely, but no lady III
the city or State is more tavorably known
to very extended circle of acquaintance
and deeply attached friends.
The bridal party left Richmond last night
for New York, where they will remain until
Saturday next, when they will take the
steamer for Europe. They expect to make
continental tour, and of course among
other objects of interest will visit the great
Exposition at Paris
They will be accompanied in their ocean
voyage by the Rev. DIR. Samson, of Colum-
bian College, Washington; Rev. DR.. Will
Hams, of the First Baptist church, Balti-
more Rev. Professor Thomas Hume; late
of Petersburg; but now of the Danville
va. Female College; Professor Hunting
ton, of Columbian College Rev. T. W.
Tobey, of Alabama Rev. VIM. D. Thomas,
of Greenville, S. c., and several lady
friends. Never before, perhaps, has the
broad Atlantic borne upon its bosom a
more precious freight than will navigate
her blue waters on this interesting voyage
May propitious skies and prosperous winds
watt them onward.

preserves with commendable pride gray
coat, which yet bears upon its faded
sleeves and collar the impress of rank
most honorably won.
Still another paper takes us to task for
expressing an honest indignation at the hu-
initiating position assumed By the Secreta-
ry of War in the late Cabinet meeting, in
endeavoring to sustain political orthodoxy
against the overpowering attacks OF his
heterodox associates. We are most vlo-
lently cudgled with the entire logical force
of the establishment, for modestly assert
ing that Mr.. STANTON, among other things,
in voting that Militia officers, prior to the
war, were subject to disqualification, under
the Reconstruction acts, was Influenced
more by what he thought would benefit
the Radical party than the legal constrllc-
ton of the acts. Yet, in another column,
it is announced with satisfaction that Dis
trict Attorney STARBUCK had been dis
charged without trial, although it IS well
known that he had been IL member of Sc
cession Convention, aud as such ''enga9ed
IN the furtheraucC Of the common unlawful
purpose" and the duties Of his office me
ccssarily had relation to the support OF the
rebellion and therefore is pronounced, not
only by the orthodox Secretary, bat also
by his herctical colleagues, us being actu-
ally DISTINGUISHED for participation IN re-
bellion, ii previously he had held all Office
much less was he able to take the test oath.
Still, as this was the price paid, the conver-
sion at least washed away the guilt. The
conduct OF the orthodox District Attorney
is justified, ii not commended, and the mod
est opinions Of the hoterodoX paper are
piously condemned. Such examples of the
true principles sometimes drawing their
support from all orthodox sentiment of
the people, and as frequently from the
solid o11criuys to the governmental mis-
sionnry fund for the conversion of politi-
cal heathens) battling against error aud sin,
could be multiplied without end.
''Orthodoxy," says an unauthorized, but
very discreet photographer, is my doxy;
Heterodoxy is your doxy." This definition,
however true it may be in any event, is
much more striking when ma do,cy is in
power, and yours is not. Especially is this
the case i'll politics. II YOU are in a mi
nority, it IS we'll enough for all appeal to be
made to the Constitution, for that instrtl-
ment was written for the express purpose
of protecting just such people-a court OF
the last and highest resort. But such small
matters must not stand III the way of pre-
sent necessities or future success. It's old
fogy and obsolete provisions may have
pleased the fancy of the respectable gen
tlemen who framed them, and met the re-
quirements of the country in those print,
tive days {; but now it hangs as an incubus
upon the progress of the nation, and It's e.
straints, thrown with jealous care as pan,
oply around the rights of States and of ci-
tizens, stand in the way of the triumph of
true, orthodox political principles. Then
destruction and utter abrogation becomes
no less duty than pleasure to the pious
devOteeS.

Horrible Suicide in Springfield, Mass.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 23.-One OF
the most horrible suicides ever heard OF
was committed in this city on Saturday
morning. A widow named Maria Gilmore,
who lived alone, took single-blade knife,
cut q rfrightful cash in her abdomen ana
completely tore out her bowels, which were
found detached from her body, in pail OF
water beside her. The floor was covered
with great pool of blood, and on the ia,
BILE was milestone, with which she had
sharpened the knife before beginning her
" hari-kari." Strange as it may seem, she
lived an hour and half after being dis
emboweled, dying at nine o'clock. During
that time she was attended by the priest
and made her will, bequeathing consider
able property. The cause of the suicide is
supposed to have been insanity. MIS-
Gilmore's age was sixty-fYe.

No Speech From Gen. Patton-Undervvood
Dfsperses the Crowd Before his Arrival
A Political Trick to Interfere With the
General.
We announced day or two since the ar
rival of General T. w Patton, of Towanda
county. Penn, at the Ballard House.
The General, who occupies q high place
in the esteem of his people, came hlther on
his way southwark, with the intention of
using his efforts to bring harmony OF &C
ton and brotherly feeling between the IA
ces.
He spoke on Saturday afternoon from
the monument on the Square, and as the
weather was rather inclement, he had to be
brief. He announced, however, that he
would speak to the colored people at any
place and at any time they desired. On
Sunday committee of colored men called
on hin, and asked him to meet them at the
African church on Monday night promis-
ing him a good audience.
The General in the meantime prepared
q speech advising the blacks not to distrust
their former masters, giving a history OF
slavery and its authors, and arguing against
confiscation and such like extreme Radical
measures. In fine, he urged that the Sher-
man bill be taken, as it IS, as the true ba-
sis of reconstruction.
The Radical leaG2fS IN the interval got
wind of the sentiments that the General
would likely utter, and his intention to
speak that night, and determined to defeat
him. Underwood himself went to the
church few moments before the General
arrived and announced that there would
be no meeting. The crowd dispersed, and
when General Patton arrived there We're
but few persons present and the lights had
been O1rtiaflV cXtlrrUlSbpU
The General returned to his room dis
gusted with the idea that a man occupying
the position OF a United States Judge
should have condescended to so mean a po-
litical trick.
He Addressed. = card to the immaculate
Judge, stating his reasons for coming here,
and denouncing him as factioni8t and par
tisan, who, by the colored vote, expects
to get himself into the United States Sen
ate.
General Patton occupied the position of
clerk in the United States Senate for TWEEN
ty-six years, and was displaced by Forney.

"A Lover Murders His Sweetheart and Conn
mIts Suicide.


Sarah Klein and a young man named
Betz, both residents of Cincinnati. have
been acquainted for some years, and have
been accepted lovers. On Tuesday night
last Betz determined to visit his Sarah -
When he neared the gate he saw his be-
trothed standing in happy, ight-hearted
conversation with a young man. He &C
cOrdingly hid himself to watch the result,
and just as the party was about leaving,
Betz perceived certain appearances of en-
dearment between him and Sarah, which
he regarded as inconsistent with his claims
to her hand and heart, and as soon as the
party had left, he (Betz) rushed to the gate
and exclaimed
''Sarah, who was that --, who was
with you -
She made some evasive reply, when he
added:
ed like to know what business any,
body has to be with you, except myself y
Another evasive reply was made, and he
followed after her with drawn pistol, fir
ing three times without effect, when she
entered the house and closed the door: but
he at once broke the lock, and discharged
a fourth shot at her, which struck her in
the neck, and proved fatal in an instant.
No sooner did Betz perceive what he had
done than he ran out, apparently frantic,
leaping several fences, and. crossing the
pike into grass field, where he suddenly
stopped, drew out his pistol again, and
fired the remaining shot into his own head,
scattering his brains about, and killing him
self almost instantly.

Eiaine Democratic State CONCENTRATIONS
iIation for Governor
pOPTTAND TuaS1av Tuna Ok

PORTLAND, Tuesday, June %.
The Maine Democratic State Convention
convened in Mechanics Hall at IL o'clock
this morning. The Convention was not as
large as it has been for the past few years,
the basis of representation being the last
national vote, instead OF the previous Pres
idential election, as heretofore. Charles ?.
Kimball, Of Portland, was chosen Presi-
dent, and upon taking the chair addressed
the Convention, saying that taxation must
be taken from the shoulders of the poor
man and placed upon the rich, where it
belonged that they must oppose sumptua-
ry legislation and State constabulary,
which was odious, miscellaneous and bad in
every aspect, he thought. The President
spoke very earnestly, and was cheered en-
Enthusiastically.
The Chairman of the Committee of Gre
dentials reported the number of delegates
present 623.
The State Committee for the ensuing po-
htical year and a Committee on Resolutions
were elected.
The Convention then adjourned to meet
again in the afternoon.
Upon reassembling the Convention in
the afternoon, Hon. E. T. Pillsbury, of
Augusta, was nominated candidate for Gov
ernOr by reclamation.
Resolutions, nine in number, were re-
ported. The first relates to the past histo-
~ Of the Democratic party the second de-
clarcs representation in Congress a right
abiding in the Constitution, and favors the
admission OF all States owing allegiance to
the General Government the third reflects
upon the 1hirty-ninth Congress the fourth
favors Judicious measures for the suppress
sion of traffic in Intoxicating liquors, but
denounces the present law as extreme, ty-
rannical, cruel and oppressive, in violation
Of the rights of the citizens and injurious
to the objects protested by it's authors
The fifth denounces the State Constabula-
ry Law. The sixth opposes the exemption
of the United States Bonds from taxation.
The seventh recognises anew the services
of the army and navy, and pledges a gene
rous consideration and care of the widows
and orphans, The eighth is complimenta-
ry to the candidate, Hon. E. F. Pillsbury.
The nominee for Governor then address
ed the Convention upon the financial af-
fairs of the Government.
