Gov. Hawley, the radical candidate for re-
election in Connecticut, in a recent speech
declared ''the rebellion was stronger now
than when Lee surrendered" This is too
much for the New York Times Republican
paper which, after briefly sketching the con-
dition of the defeated south, pronounces the
truculent Hawley's aforesaid declaration
'meudacious nonsense"

following from the Memphis Bulletin may
be of some interest to grain buyers and ship

barrel, and grain ten cents per sack, is an
item of sufficient Importance to engage the
attention of all who now pay high tariffs in
the way of freights, etc. 1t was understood
that forty Thousand dollars had already
been subscribed here. Several merchants
of St. Louis, feeling an active interest in the
venture, have taken stock to a considerable
amount, and it was evident that the whole
thing could have been arranged in that city,
but those interested were of the opinion that
the larger share of stock should be held by

SPEECH OF THE EARL OF LUDD1NGroN ON THE DANGER
OF GRANTING THE FRANCHISE
SIR: 1t is meet that should rejoicethat in England
especially who have suffered every species of wrong and
contumely should swell with voices the wild hosannas
of victory which echong through every hill and
vale between the two great oceans whose stormy waters lash
shores.
In the recent elections the issues plain positive and
pregnant Thoroughly discussed and clearly understood the
hustngs have rendered intelligent and decisive verdict
What is that verdict?
1t is that the leaders of the Reform prefer to call
it. Revolutionary party fahess and corrupt that their
false in theory and pencious IN practice 1t
that they have openly and confesedy violated the Con-
stution which they to maintain and defend
that they have reasonably attempted to destroy the Union
between England and Ireland which all the mighty armies
of the world could not hake that they have punderd the
public treasury and brought the country to the verge of
bankruptcy 1t that they have shameess and reckessy
squandered untold millions for the support of hodes of idle
vagabond sh while the widows and orphans of the patriot
soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the salvation of the
country left uprovded for and doomed to life of suf
ferng and penury 1t is, that they have defany and
unconstutionay robbed the landocracy of this United
Kingdom of their legal and naienable right to the govern
menhave basey subjected them to the irresponsible tyr
amy of military saaps and to the yet horrible nfamy
determination by four millions Irish slaves
Such sir is the meaning of the result of the late eections
such the judgment of the people, not of the Conservatives
alone but of tens of thousands of the consderae and
patriotic the of the Reform Revolutionary party
who see no safety peace prosperity for the country but
in the triumph of Conservatism and the practical realization
of it's lust liberal and constitutional doctrines.
The verdict the people declares that the Union of Great
Britain and Ireland is yet one and indivisible
1t that Ireland shall never be permitted to rule this
United Kingdom or to give shape and direction national
legislation through representation of any given number
of renegades ignorant Cells elected by the votes of four
millions of ser to the exclusion OF the gallant tree-born
men of the land of Cromwall and Hampden.
1t means-and say it the emphatcaly because it
has become the fashion of certain Fenian blaherkes to
ridcule this solemn truhhat this government of
instituted by Enghmen to be administered by Englishmen
in the and for the benefit of the and

VoItaire On Marriage.

you have the fewer crimes there viii be-
Marriage renders a man more virtuous and
unmarried man is but half perfect being,
and it requires the other half to make things
right, and it Cannot be expected that in this
imperfect state he can keep the straight path
Of rcctitude no more than boat with one
oar, or a. bird with one wing can keep a
straight course.
la nine cases out of ten where married
men become drunkards, or where they COM
NIT crimes against the peace Of the commu-
nifty, the foundation of these acts was laid
while in single state, orwhere the wife is,
as is sometimes the case, an unsuitable
match. Marriage changes the current OF
man 5 feelings and gives him a centre for his
thoughts his affections and his acts Here
is a home for the entire man and the counsel
the affections, the example, aud the inter

temptations to which he would otherwise be
exposed. Therefore the friend to marriage
is the friend to society and his country"

An EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENT. An
Irishman, named Sheridan, who had served
in the Federal army, and who was returned
as dead in the battle Of Bull Run Tin which
he received no less than twelve wounds)
managed to recover, and at the close of the
war returned to this country and entered
the service of the Royal Humane Society.
After performing prodigies of valor the
other day, in finally attempting to rescue
another boy, he himself got under the ice
and was under water for several minutes.
On recovering his body it was pronounced
to be lifeless, and sent away with other
corpses to the dead house And yet for the
second time Sheridan came back to life and
is now as well as ever.
