it not proper time and occasion for special ar

SO few that they can be sighted, justly or

To prevent misunderstanding, it is desirable
to say that these poor families are not, all Of

The Latest Fashions.

Since the invention and successful
introduction of the Celebrated Duplex
Elliptic FOR doubled Spring Hoop Skirt
by Mr.. j. W, Bradley, of New York
the ladies throughout the country have
given up the idea of discarding the
fashion Of wearing hoop skirts on account
of the peculiar and graceful manner il
which the Duplex Skirts adapt them.
selves to every exigency aud emergency
So generally acceptable have these
Skirts become that the ladies regari
them as a special favoritc, in view oil
the superior Flcxibility, Lightness and
Durability Combined in their Mauufac
ture. They also consider them far
more Economical and Comfortable Hoop
Skin .han ever has or can be made fol

wearing one of these SKnG VIII never
afterwards willingly dispense with tnv.Ir
use. Long experience in the mauufac.
ture of Hoop Skirts, has proven to the
proprietors of this invention, that Sin
gle-springs VIII always retain that stiff,
unyieldiug and bungling style which
has ever characterised them, whereas
the Double Spring Hoop or the Duplex
Elliptic, will be found Free from these
objections. notwithstanding the abili-
ty Of the manufacturers, Messrs. Vests,
Bradley and Cary, to turn out over six
Thousand Skirts per day from their
Large Manufactures in New York, they
feel obliged to request all merchants
ordering the Duplex Elliptic Skirts, to
send their orders few days before they
are wanted, if possible, as they are most
constantly oyersold some days ahead

no need to speak he was known in

A Pair OF vetOes.

Last week the President returned to
Congress with his objections the Bills
to admit the Territories of Colorado and
Nebraska as States. This is the second
attempt to admit these States, che first
having been frustrated by executive
action last session. The object appears
to be to admit the four Radical Senators
now waiting at Washington to represent
these new States, still further to assure
the success Of Radical schemes. II
would place these new State, on an
equality in the Senate with States hay.
ing mill ons Of inhabitants, whilst Col
orado has less than 5000 inhabitants,
Nebraska about $4,000. The ratio for
a single Representative in, the lower
Housa is now 127 900. /
In both these Territories the people
have persisteutly opposed the allowance
of Negro suffrage, yet the Radicals 10
Congress have determined to admit them
as States with proviso to allow such
suffrage, thus overruling the will Of
their people. Besides this, the House
Of Representatives of Colorado Inns pro.
tested against their admission as State
on the ground Of the inability of the
people to supper, the expense ola State
Government. In Nebraska there was
but 100 majority, out Of a vote Of :, re
for admission as a State, rendering /,

sheridan,s Order.

The New York .Saa speaking Of
General Shsridan's order says, Genoral
Sheridan has added nothing to his rep
utation by refusing to allow The citizens
of Galveston to give "cisil escort,
from the steamer to the cars, to the
remains Of General Johnston IL is
true that Gen. Johnston was Rebel,
aud that he died in the cause Of the
Confederaey but the rebellion has pas
sed away, and We can see no improperly
in allowing the people of the South to
honor whom they please in civil cspa-
city. If the proposal had been to give
military honors to the remains Of Gen.
Johnston, the case would DC different,
Ii the Confederate uniforms, flags, or
any other appurtenanecs Of the rebel
liou were to have been displayed on the
occasion, then the action OF Gen. Sheri.
dan might be justified But 80 far as
appears from the correspondence, there
was to be nothing more than civil es-
cort a short distance through the city.
Docs General Sheridan or anybody else
propose to take from the Southern peo-
pie the affection which they feel for
men. who fought aud died by their side
during the late war 2 If tho South had
conquered tile North, would not We
cherish the memory of our heroes quite
as much as we now do? Gen Sheridan S
course is not calculated to hasten the
era Of fraternity and concord between
the North and South, and we fail to see
how it eau receive the endorsement Of
sober, thoughtful aud considerate
men.
