About daylight yesterday morning, an
unsophisticated ''dorg" from the country,
stray ed into town and was soon in the
hands of sharpers. A rafting tin was ap-
pended to his tail and he was requested to
git. He did so in great haste, giving a
yelp and eliciting yell from his ruthless
prosecutors at every jump. The unusual
noise reused the drowsy clerks on the
square at = little earlier hour than they
are in the habit of rising, and doubtless
many Of them saw the sun rise that morn
ing who hadn't beheld such sight before
in years. The "Purp" hasn't yet been
heard from.

NATIONALITY.

A contemporary remarks that to be
and remain one people as a nation, the
American people must be national in
their principles of government. Sec
tionalism in politics will necessarily and
inevitably result in divided nationality
The Union was the result of broad, libe-
raj, comprehensive principles of govern
ment, 1t could never have been founded
on the sectionalisms of the present day,
North or South Had the proposition
been made by the North at the formation
ofthe Union that slavery should be abol-
ished as the condition of uniting with
the South, the South would never have
become party to the Union; so, also,
had the South contended that slavery
should be and remain an institution OF
every State in the Union as a condition
of uniting with the comparatively non
slaveholding States, these States would
probably have refused compliance with
that condition.

NAMED and was murdered by the
monster, Jaurez He was a man
of most amiable disposition. Simple in
his habits and excellent in every respect
In point of education and scientific &c
ouirements he had few equals, and very
few superiors. He was complete master
of ten languages, including English. lie
was also very deeply versed in astrono-
nv, and all sciences connected with
navigation, on several Of which he has
written some very clever works. AS q
mathematical scholar, few could com
pete with him, while in general education
and information, such as history, geog-
raphy, and the rise and progress OF ma
tons, he was perfect walking encyelo-
media. Natural history and geology
were among his favorite studies, and he
spent much of his time in the museum,
which he added to and improved greatly
during his stay in Mexico. He was al
ways perfectly happy to be left alone on
the hills, with nothing but his butterfly
net and box for specimens, always, as
he said, finding some new object OF in

In Mexico, the Empress Carlotta took
very great pains to cultivate the Mexican
ladies (rather difficult task having
her own drawing-room for ladies only,

factions together, to introduce rational

DELAYED DISPATCHES.
FROM NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, July A. Business Is
suspended and the day generally OBJ
served as a holiday, but passed OIL very
quietly. The military paraded the prin'
cipal streets in the evening, and o
national salute was fired from the loot
of Canal street. The newspaper and
military Offices and various pubhc
and private buildings were decorated
with flags. The various foreign consul
ates displayed their. respective national
colors. while those OF Austria and Prussia
were draped in mourning. Many holiday
excursions left this morning, and the
streets were crowded with promenaders.
The New York Heralds special from
this city of June 26th, states that ex'Gov.
Wells is about to issue a proclamation
declaring Flanders usurper, and for
bidding the civil officers to obey his
orders, and declaring his acts null and
void, as he himself is Governor.
The Tribune's special Of the same date
says that s5,OOO,OOO of the city notes are
in circulation, and their value is depre-
ciating rapidly. These dispatches are pub
lished in the city papers as New Orleans
news, via New York. The City Treas
urer's report of June goth states that the
amount of city currency in circulation
is S3,743,OOO, The city notes are almost
the entire currency Of the city, and, as
it is not taken in bank, the business OF
the public must be seriously embar-
raised. The facts are, thescity notes
are current in ordinary business,
and are only at discount when used in
large amounts and at brokers' officers.
Governor Wells proclamation, fore
Swallowed in the Heralds special, has
not been heard from as yet.

FROM NEW YORK.

New York, July 5.-The steamer
Rising Star, from Aspinwall, has arrived.
Panama correspondence confirms the
report of the capture of Mosquera, and
the assumption of supreme power by
Acosta.
The Columbian steamer Bolivar, which
evaded seizure some time since, re-
turned to Panama by Mosquera's orders,
and was delivered over to the authorities.
Affairs greatly unsettled and the only
remedy seems to be to wait until Con-
gress convenes.
A Santiago, Chill, correspondence
says the Presidents message to the
Gillian Congress announces that the
mediation of the United States in the
war with Spain has been accepted condi-
tionally.
A Lima correspondence says Castillo S
revolution to depose Prado has been
terminated by the death of Castillo. The
only body remaining in arms was the
small command Of Gen. Rivas. Prado
had succeeded in forming a new Cabinet.
Congress was busy in adopting new
Constitution and revising the new penal
code.

TENNESSEE ABROAD.

Two or three days ago a correspond
ent Of the New York Times, in a long
letter from Tennessee, gave an account
of the manner in which the government
Of this State is conducted, and Of the
political prospects and plans Of Cover
nor Brownlow. Commenting on the
facts stated in the letter, the Times says:
Congress has been asked to legislate
for Maryland and other States whose
politics are not entirely satisfactory.
We submit, however, that if there is to
be any extension of the sphere Of Con-
gressionsl authority in the matter Of
State government, il ought 10 embrace
Tennessee. There, if anywhere, mill
tary government, administered by pru-
dent and responsible officers, would be
mercifI There, if anywhere, the ex.
isiing civil government should bn de-
clsred a nuisance, to be tolerated only
until something better than Brownlowism
can be constructed in It's place.

sURRATT's FATE.

1t is said by an exchange, that every
thing on the par. Of the Court and of the
prosecution shows that the case of the
prisoner is prejudged; that he is on trial
TO be convicted, not to ascertain whether
he be guilty or innocent How other
wise account for the spiriting away of
the witnesses for the Government after
they had given in their testimony, and
the refusal of the Court to recall them
on the application by affidavit Of the de-
Tense. 1t seemed to weigh nothing with
the Court that the witnesses for the Gov
eminent could be proven to be infamous
characters, unworthy alike Of respect by
decent men or Of belief in court Of JUS
tice. They had served the purpose for
which they were suborned, and it would
not do to afford the victim at the bar an
opportunity to throw discredit on their
infamous testimony.

THE CONTRAST.


The coming of the fourth Of July
brought Congress together What the
members could discover in the associa-
tons of that day appropriate to the work
they meant to perform, we cannot per-
ceive. On the fourth day of July, l776,
the Congress at Philadelphia declared
that the colonies were, and OF right ought
TO be free. Congress assemblies on the
fourth day of July, 1867, to declare that
ten States are not, and ought not to be
free. The Congress of l776 denounced
the tyranny of King George. The Con-
press of 1861 endorses and enforces the
tyranny of Thad. Stevens. Any other
day would have been more appropriate.
Humanity, civilization, and above all,
Liberty, is shamed by such a contrast.
The men of l776 were pure, spotless,
and patriotic. The men of lS67-what
are they2 The records of the Thirty
ninth Congress afford the answer. In
meeting on the fourth of July to rivet
the chains still tighter upon the South,
may be said to be stealing the livery of
liberty to serve tyranny in. On the cheek
of Jacobinism there is no blush Its
theory, reduced to practice is, that one
who defends liberty and is defeated, de-
serves to be enslaved. A cold current
of self runs through our legislation,
while greed, bloated with a degree of
indulgence that persuades it to clamor
for more, discolors the whole surface of
noIities

srEauLAR suGGEsTION.

A man named Bagley has published in
the Chicago Tribune an account Of his
efforts TO have Mr.. Davis pardoned. He
made application to Senator Howard,
who replied:
Did YOU ever hear of man IN such q
condition that he could not apply for
pardon If be would2 If Mr.. Davis would

rights TO the negroes and poor white
peopIe Of the South, there is no power in
the country that could keep him out Of
Congress- but to tell you that be couldn't
apply for pardon is nonsense.
Davis was kept in prison two years
because he held certain opinions. This
is the plain truth of the matter. He had
committed no crime recognized by the
law of nations, and there was no tribunal
before which he could be arraigned until
Congress mended the matter by legisla'
ton. Guilty as Mr.. Davis is said by bis
enemies to be, we have the testimony oil

would be the look Of Davis on receiving
such a proposition, but We cannot
describe it. The little vitality that q
long Imprisonment has left him, would
be concentrated into one burning expires
