Sir John Bowring, the polyglot English poet,
some years ago gave Byrons album to be ex-
hibited as a relic at Iluckna The album has
been distracted, and 1t seems to be the opinion
of Sir John that cit has been taken to Amer
! Z" ica.n We are not over-senstive, but as there
were many like literary thefts before America
was discovered, and some of them notable
ones, and as Byron's album would sell just as
well in Germany las here, we should like TO
have had Sir Johns reasons for supposing that
market for the stolen treasure would be more
readily found on this side of the sea than the
other. 1t is more than probable that the thief
was some bibliOmaniac; perhaps some young
woman going through her Byronica stage car
red off the curiosity. The Childe Harold dis
ease is considerably on the vane in the United
States and is now confined mainly to school
girls. We suspect that ByroI's album, put up
openly at vendue in New YORK, would hardly
excite any great competition. 1t would be too
valuable for moon struck baIdlngs, and the
snufiy old veterans of the salesrOOms would
turn up their noses at it. The autograph
hunters might take look at il, but even BY.
ron's album probably contained no very rare
specimens. He lived too isolated a life TO have
made any remarkaDle collection OF offerings.
The book however valuable or worthless, is
not for the market. TO offer it for sale will
be to insure detection and reclamation. 1t
might be broken up, but we do not believe
that it is worth the trouble, especially if it is
Gas we suspecD only a relic of school days.
Byron himself sent to Scott few bones from
Thermopylg in a vase. The letter accompany
ing them was left in the vase, and was stolen.
Scott told Irving that it was a consolation that
the thief would never dare TO show his ILL got
ten prize; and, being gentleman, he did not
hint to Irving that the letter had probably
been taken to America. We beg leave to
assure the universe that when Yankees steal
they steal more judiciously, and that they are
not in the habit of buying goods which they
cannot show without danger of losing them.

The new fundamental law of Austria which
has been adopted by the Vienna ReichsrGth
contains some truly liberal provisions. 1t guar
antees the right of association, freedom of the
press, religious liberty, state superintendent
of education, and equal rights of nationaties and
languages. Though the Austrian people may
yet have to wait some time before these liber-
ties shall be firmly rooted among the institu-
tions of the country, it is cheering sign that
a large majority of the representatives of the
Austrian people entertain these sentiments.
The Liberal Opposition in the last French
Legislative Body could not rally more than
about 40 votes for the principles Endorsed by
the Austrian Parliament.

We print elsewhere some Of the Oracular out
givings of the Presidents Boston organ The
PO6t-wherein we are informed that Gen. Shcr-
man declares that any attempt to suspend or
degrade Andrew Johnson before trial and con-
vction would be clearly revolutionary, and so
on. AS to suspension, we have no opinion just
now to express; but in the matter of degrade
ton we do not hesitate to say that Mr.. John
son is beyond the reach of COngress-he has
done for himself in that respect more than the
most vindictive Radical could have desired to
do for him. The mOuthpiece goes on to say
that these views of Gen. Sherman "may have
Suggested the propriety of his return (recall p
"here to assume the command of the Depart
"ment of Washington" i. G., to defend by
force of arms the sacred person of Mr.. A. John
son. And furthermore, the same voluble Ger
respondent tells us that Gen. Grant, concurs in
these views. But lest we might tremble to
nightly in our boots, we are graciously per-
mitted to know that president johnson will
"hold ready obedience should the House of
Representatives impeach and the Senate con-
"yict him as required by the forms of the
Constitution! :" For this much cOndescenslon
let us give thanks.

We regret to observe that one or two journals
are spiteful enough to print some very unklnd
remarks about Charles Dickens in anticipation
of his forthcoming visit to America. Mr.. Dickens
said some pretty hard things OF us many years
ago but it is by no means certain that we did
not deserve them; and even if we did not, any
man of sense ought to know that whatever little
injury he ever did us has been twenty times out
weighed by the substantial good he has conferred
upon the world. The fact is we doubt whether
those who are now rudest in their censure of the
great novelist know how much truth and good
sense are embodied in the writings with which
thew principally find fault, and how groundlcSs
ia the assertion that he abused the hospitality
which we forced upon him. 1t would DO a wise

TTPEINIl,


The election in Virginia has passed oil thus
far in better order than could reasonably De
anticipated, after the fiery appeals of the Rebel
press. We hear that in two or three instances
the colored people have misused those OF their
kind who noisily proclaimed their intention OIL
voting the Conservative ticket; but on the
whole the behavior of both white and black
voters will compare favorably with that OF the
free and independent electors of this or any
other Northern city. Our latest dispatches
confidently count upon the success OF the
Convention by considerable majority {;
but there seems to be room for doubt, III the mat
ter of delegates, whether the Radicals or Conser-
NATIVES will predominant One point, however, Is
assured; the non-Yoting or dog-in-tle-manger
policy is not popular; the people have voted
and that too much more generally than we an
ticipated The Convention is a fixed fact. IL
the Anti Observation-Disclosures have majority OF
the delegates, they may retard the work OF
reinstatement for time; but they at least do
themselves justice by taking an active part IN
the work and in legitimate way expressing
their views. The returns are yet too meager
to determine which side is in the majority, and
so it is idle to speculate upon what Will be
done or left undone.

We devote a large share of our space this
morning to the address Of Speaker COLFAx at
the Cooper Institute last night. The dis
tinguished gentleman was greeted by one of
the largest and most intelligent audiences ever
assembled in the building, and his response TO
their greeting was one of his finest achieve
ments The speech is full of good sense and
sound teachings, and will attract the careful
attention of all who seek enlightenment upon
the great political problems of the day. We
trust it will be carefully read and pondered,
and that its perusal will bring forth good fruit
in the important contest upon which the people
of the City and the State are so soon to enter.

CEN MCCLELLAN.

There is a maxim, frequently quoted some
wears ago in this city, during an unfortunate
ecclesiastical investigation. The scrupulous
said, "Once a Bishop always Bishop" shook
their heads, and voted for suspension instead
of deposition We are reminded of this circum-
stance by seeing it announced that "many
Democrats" favor Gen: Mcclellan. for the
next Presidency. "0nce Candidate we sup
pose, they say, always a candidate;' and thus
the poor General is to be put into that forlorn
limbo of hope deferred from which so many
great men have been relieved only by gentle
and benevolent Death. AS the foe of cruelty,
if not the particular friend Of the General, we
enter our protest against this amabe cOntu-
macy. There may he few men who still think
that he would make a good candidate; there
may be political gamblers still willing to play
upon his chances; and if he were nominated
there are those who would vote for him; but
as he will not be candidate, as he will not
be entered at all for the sweepstakes, as there
will be no opportunity to make bets upon his
majority or minority, it Is not generous to dis
tract his military mind from the study of fort
ifcations and the science of defensive digging,
by breathing his name in connection with any
election for any Office whatever. Mercy die
tatcs that when even Major is in the
plight of Cen McC., he should be severely
dropped. We could mention several person
ages, now no longer In the nesii. whose Old age
was made superlatiyely wretched by the i'll
timed determination of mistaken friends, who
would keep them before the people rs Pres-
dental candidates long after the ghost of pos
sible achievement had vanished. The General
il too young 10 enter upon such career of
misery. If undisturbed, he may yet write many
valuable volumes upon the Art of War, with
pictures Of numerous fortrcsses which 1t would
be impossible for him to capture. He may do
something for gunncry. He may invent a new
projectle. He may design uniforms OF novel
neatness or of inyincible splendor. He may
make AN excellent lecturer at West Point. He
may devise a digging machine of great value
to farmers. But if hc is to waste his life IN
dreaming of the Presidency, in hoping and
signing and hoping again, in constant aspira-
tons and predestinate disappointment, he had
better at once fall upon his sword and split
his heart, after the Roman fashion.

Sporting men have been good deal inter
ested of late in the rivalship between Commo-
dore Vanderbilt and Mr.. Robert Bonner for
the credit of possessing the fastest trOtter on
the turf. Commodore Vanderbilt wanted to
trot his Mountain Boy against Mr.. Bonners
Dexter, proposal which the latter gentleman
replied he would not entertain until Mountain
Boy should have equaled Dexter's celebrated
time Of one mile in 217t. Mr.. Vanderbilt put
his gelding to the test on the Fashion Course
last Monday, and the horse trotted mile in
2:21f. For his age, which is years. this is
considered very remarkable achievement,
but it falls seconds short of Dexter's score;
so Bonner still bears the palm.

The postal affairs in Northern Germany be-
long among those matters which are Withdrawn
from the legislation of the particular States
and placed under that of the Confederation
Yesterday a Cable dispatch informed us that
a uniform postal arrangement for all Northern
Germany had been adopted by the Federal
Parliament. 1t u.s. as matter of course,
the Prussian system which has thus been in
trodueed into the minor States. AS the postal
system of Prussia is probably the best of the
many admirable features of the civil admins
tration of that country, the new law will soon
be felt to be a very material gain by the people
of the smaller States, and thus prove new
bond of union From the same reason
the convOcatiOn of a Postal Conference,
to which Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg,
Baden, Hesse Darmstadt, and Luxembourg
have been invited TO send delegates,
may prove an event Of great political import
ance. Prussia is in no hurry TO complete the

The hearty welcome which has been extended
to Farragut's squadron in all the maritime
countries of Europe and not least in England,
from whom we had least reason to expect cor
diality, must be taken as an evidence not only
of recognition of the remarkable services OF
our gallant Admiral, and Of the Navy of which
he is the head, but of the readiness of foreign
powers to make amends for the injustice they
did us during the war; The London Dally
NerS makes frank confession of misdeeds,
and in citing the hospitality of the British
people to the great American sailor as an IN
dication of an era of better feeling, expresses
the hope that England will cultivate in future
a more cordial alliance with the Western
World.
