The Sentinel speaks of "Mr. Abbott, of
Massachusetts,, uia of New Hanover" We
believe Gen. Abbott did come in by way
of Wilmington. He came in under the old
flag, at the head of conquering legions. He
came honorably, and as he approached
the interior the mighty Vance, the idol Of
the Sentinel, after urging Others to flight
until hell froze over, and then fight upon
the ice," fled like scared chicken late at
night towards Hillsborough.
Gen. Abbott is honored by these petty as
saults. They afford the best proof, if any
proof were needed, that he loves his couptry
and has the confidence of our loyal people.

empted from all natural commissions, pesti-
lence and famine-That our citizens in the
enjoyment of the fullest liberty are a moral,
virtuous and law-abiding people-That the
poor and INDECENT have been cared for, the
disabled soldiers of the State supported and
their orphans protected, and that the oppor-
tunities of education and advancement are
open to AL.

established custom, I, MARCUS L. WARD,
Governor of the State of New Jersey, do here
by set apart and appoint

cious Father in the past, do invoke him to be
with us in the future

THE LIFE OF AN ENGLISH Earl

A recent cable dispatch from Eng
land contains the announcement of the
death of Henry Weysford Charles
Plantagent Kawdon Hastings, Earl of
Rawdon and Marquis of Hastings. :
Dying in his twenty-sixth year, worn
out with debauchery, he was fair spe-
cimen of the modern young British
noble.
At eighteen years of age the Marquis
owned the finest yacht in Europe, and
strange stories we're told of the orgies
held on board this vessel, as her noble
owner sailed the seas with his mistress
SEES and boon companions. At nineteen
he was very handsome, and his betting
book was the wonder of the British
metropolis. One day he would be in
the French capital, making his betting
book, and taking great odds; at the
end of the week he would be in the
Mole of Naples with a pretty ballet girl
watching the loading of his pleasure
Yacht with Italian wines and fruits and
the South then he would make a trip
to the Carpathians and be again on
the great Derby Day at EPSON Downs,
standing before the grand stand, the
observed of all observers, his book
good for twenty or thirty thousand
pounds, sometimes all wagered on one
horse. Three days later the keel of
his yacht would be cleaving the waters
of the Baltic in search of adventure,
and so back again to enjoy the uproar
of the London fashionable world.
His family is one of the Oldest and
noblest in England, and he inherited a
large fortune, his rent roll being over
hundred thousand pounds yet he
died pauper, his estates in the hands
of the Jews, and his revenues lost
among blacklegs and sporting turfmen
For racing and blooded horses he had
great passion. His stables were filed
with fine horses, and one or more of
these horses he entered at nearly every
race which occurred in England, bet
ting upon them against the advice of
his friends, and losing large sums. In
1867 he appeared at the Derby in very
embarrassed circumstances. His horses
were beaten in every race, and young
Hastingslost 100000. This sum how,

REPORT. George w. Edgar, Major
Pansborns clerk during the political
campaign just closed, reports-which
report is published in full in the Even
ing Journal. This clerk to .Pangborn
hints q for the more successful manage
ment of political compaign in the
future as follows:
First. The State Committee should
meet either in Jersey City, New York,
Newark or Trenton, and never in n
out of the way locality.
Second. The committee in charge of
speakers should by all means be locat-
ed for that business in New York.

ing companion for life should be good sense,
and good disposition. fine figure, good
face. and sweet smile, a soft voice and in
teresting, do very well for the days of court
ship these are the means of winning affec-
ton, but let all young persons, male and fe-
males, rest assured that they can never re-
tain it unless they are aided by an amiable

THE AMERICAN FLAG IN PARA
QUAY.

The extraordinary letter from Mr..
Charles Washburn, our ex- Minister to
Paraguay, to the Hon. William Stuart,
British Minister to Buenos Ayes, will
be read with indignation by every pat
riot American. When the Paraguayans
were about evacuating Asuncion, al
number of persons, bath natives and
foreigners, sought refuge at the Amer
lean legation. Among them were sew
eral Englishmen, and Senior Pereira,
the Portuguese Consul, with his family.
President Lopez demanded that all
these refugees should be turned away.
Mr.. Washburn relates how one after
another left his roof for an imprison-
ment which was little else than slavery.
He did not turn them out he only read
to them the orders of Lopez; and left
them free to act as they saw fit. At
last the Dictator demanded that two
members of the Legation, Mr.. Porter
G. Bliss of New York and MIR. G. F.
Masterman should also be given up to
him. Sat this point, says MIR. Wash
burn, I" made stand" We think it
was time. 1t was but weak stand,
however, and the way our Minister
ma e it was to enter into long cores
pondence with Lppex in order to gain
time. At last the United States steam
er Wash, which was to carry Mr.. Wash
burn home, arrived at Asuncion. Will
our readers believe it ?-the Minister of
the United States went on board, and
allowed the two attaches to be taken by
force from his side as they started to
go with and so he steamed away. leay-
ing them to the certainty of an awful
fate at the hands of the enraged Dicta
tor. making no effort whatever to save
them, taking no step to vindicate the
outraged sanctity of his Office OF avenge
this insult to our national honor. An
American squadron was lying idle i'll
the Brazilian waters; but Mr. Wash
burn sneaked home like coward
BY this time we have new Minister
in Paraguay, and man, if we are not
mistaken, of a very different starap. =
Gen Mcmahon has been too good sol
der to brook such outrages patiently,
and while he is at the capital of Lopez
that ruler will be taught to behave with
at least descent show OF respect
toward the United States. But the
President should at once demand the
release of the prisoners taken from the
Legation, and the prrmpt PREPARATION
for the insult of our flag; and.he should
send a sufficient naval force to give his
demand unmistakable emphasis. We
are not in the habit of suffering such
wrongs, and do not mean to be patient
under them.

ever, he paid, aud in October of thu
same year he lost $500, 600 additional
owing to the unexpected failure of hi
horse Lady Elizabeth, who had wol
everything but the one on which he
owner had SO great stake. On still
another race that same year he los
5000, O00 and this last sum broke hin
up.
He contrived, however, to compro
mise his affairs in some manner, and
in May last again appeared at the Derby
with Lady Elizabeth and some Other
horses. Lady Elizabeth was entered
for the race, and up to the hour OF
starting was the favorite at long odds.
Her owner had backed her to the ex-
tent of $500, 900, and this sum involved
not only his own solyency but his hon
or. credit and good name if his horse
were to sell him, then he would be
branded as defaulter throughout all
England. When Lady Elizabeth came
to the score it was evident that she was
in no condition to run, that she had
been drugged. That such was the case
was subsequent proven SATISFACTORILY
The race was run, and the horse upon
which was staked SO large sum, and
mans reputation in addition, not only
lost, but was distanced.
Notwithstanding all this he appeared
within u month at the Paris races,
where his horse, the Earl, won the
grand prize-an object of art presented
by the Emperor-tw hundred thou
sand dollars in gold, and sweepstakes
of 5000 for each entry. Returning to
England he attended the Ascot races
in June, where the Earl was again a
winner, carrying off the st. James Pal
ace Stakes, although heavy odds were
laid against him. Another horse of his
Athena, won another race on the same
occasion. The winnings of the Mar
quis on this occasion, however, were
comparatively small, and went but a
little way among his numerous credi-
tors. These were his last racing ven
lures, as the Jews speedily conGscated
all that could be reached of his little
remaining property.
During the Investigations of his af-
fairs, some most disgraceful proceed
ings relating to horse racing were dis
closed, and the Marquis of Hastings
was not the only titled person whose
reputation suffered in consequence.
Thus ia less than ten years from the
beginning of his career of profigacy the
Marquis of Hastings succeeded in los
ing his fortune, his health and his
honor, and in every possible way dis
grazing the name he bore and the class
he represented. He had married the
lady Flora Paget, who was at the time
engaged to another gentleman, and his
domestic life was as scandalous as his
sporting career.
