The New Fashions.

There have been some changes in the
toilet administration this spring, and bon
nets-those marvels Of the milliner'5 art
have shrunk to such a degree that the
Queen of Liliput would have some troub-
le in trying one on her head. Yet the
modisles have endeavored TO effect a
compromise by making the trimming Of
one of those I" fearfully and wonderfully
made" articles as extensive as possible.
The back of the head and the neck are
now sheltered by lace vail o. isad Of
the time hOnored cape, and a coronet
bridges the bump Of benevolence in front
of the bonnet. The fanchon may be con-
slider the General Grant of bOnnets in
point of popularity, and poor Marie An
toinetle, whose head sat so uneasily on
her shoulders during the dark days Of the
san culottes, until it fell al last a victim
10 their fury has now a namesake nest
ling amid the curls of our most distin.
guished bellies. In the matter Of cloaks,
the modistes deserve a unanimous vote Of
thanks for the handsome styles they have
brought out this spring. Last year
lady carried on her back bushel load Of
jet and beads, which had disagretRble
habit Of fastening themselves in every
thing and the cloaks looked for the world
like propositions in Euclid worked out in
silk and passementeri. Now the ladies
have charming little sacks, basquines and
paletots, with surplice or manlilla fronts,
lapels like those on a gentleman's frock
coat trimming of silk satin and lace, and
a cOquettish sash tied behind. Since the
spring weather our thoroughfares have
again become fit for pedestrians, Broad
way and Fifth avenue are constantly
dotted with those exquisite cIOaks, and
the ends of the sashes futter in tie May
breeze like flags and streamers on the
shipping on national feslival.-.N Y

NO. So,

and kind man. Political opponents like
him personally, as well as his political
friends. We have never heard that he
has any enemies. The breath Of SANDER
has been silent toward his fair, spolless
fame. The wife of his youth, after be-
ing for long time an invalid, sank to
her final rest several years ago, leaving
him childless. His mother and sister
preside at bis receptions, which for many
years have been. not the most brilliant,
but the most popular of any given az
the Capital Socially, Mr.. ColfaK is
frank lively, jolly. Il may be that he
feels his oats in some degree, bat dign-
ily hasn't spoiled him. The everlasting
I-hoOd and Us.ness Of great men is for
gotten in his presence. His manners
are not quite so familiar as those Of
Lincoln, but nearly so. They are gen.
tie, natural, graceful, with biTd-like or
business. like quikness of thought and
motion. But they are very far from
-the high and mighty style Of Sumner,
or the judicial cOldness of Fessenden,
Sherman, and Trumbull Though manly,
they are genial and winning. American
mothers believe in Schuyler COlfax.
There are more babies named for him
than for any public man since Clay. Il
is a sure test Of greatness when mothers
are willing to take the name Of a public
man to the baptismal font, and sacredly
link together that Oft-repea,ed name
and thattender. unfedged life, with holy
prayer. They know that, come what
will, that name, however tried and temp
ted, will never disgrace the offspring.
What more shall we say Of Schuyler
Coltax? The nation hOnors him, by
selecting him as the vice President Of
the U. S. A.

Leaving me with home in charge;

deteriOrated in the past thirty years.
Peaches, from general and spontaneous

grapes are under cultivation IN Erie and

of Lake Erie, from which it is estimated
that two hundred thousand gallons Of

displacement of the Secretary of War. His
removal cannot be effected against his will
without the consent of tbs Senate. IL was
but short time since the United States senate
was In session, and why not then have asked
his removal If il was decided. IL certainly was
the intention of the Legislative bran h
OF the Government to place Cabinet Minis
ter beyond the power of the Executive re-
moyal, and it Is pretty well understood, so far
rs Cabinet Ministers are affected by the Ten
ure OF Ohce bl.l that IL was intended especi-
ally to protect the Secretary of War, whom
the country felt confidence in. The mean
Ing of the law may be explained away by an
ast1ts lawyer, but common sense and the
vle". of.the loyal people will give to it the
effect intended by is trainers.
Second, on the subject cf the removal ef

effect it would have upon the public lie is
unIversa,.y and deServedly beloved by the
people who sustained this government
throughout its trials, and feared by those who
would still be enemies of the government Ii
fell to the lot of but few men TO do as mach
against an enemy General Sheridan did
during the rebellion, and it is within the
ability vt but few In this or sny other coun-
try TO do what he has. His civil admins

Ponents of the laws OF Congress within his
comsnahd TO oppose him In every way in their
power, and has rendered necessary measures
which otherwise may never have been neces-
sary.
In conclusion, allow me to say a friend

FROM VIENNA.
Correspondence of the Ohio ststesman.l


VIENNA, July I'd, 1868.
The quarrel between Pope Plus TX and
Baron Won Beust, our Prime Minister, be-
gins already to become an old story, and is
certainly not very profitable to the clerical
party and theirinfluence over the Austrian
people. The fact of the matter is plainly
this, that civil marriage will become much
more general than it is at present, aud be
put under the exclusive control of the civil
authorities, if the Bishops in Austria con-
tinue to offer resistance to the Constitution
and the laws of the country in regard to
civil marriage and kindred questions. The
Interview of Mr.. Beust with the Czechian
leaders the opposition at Prague, has like
wise had favorable termination, and has
not been, as was feared, productive of seri-
GUS differences between the Austrian Gov
ernment and the Czechi, or between the
members of the different ministeries them
selves. The Hungarian Diet is still in ses-
sion, and discusses at present the military
question. 1t appears that $4,000 recruits
are for the present proposed to be drafted
for the Hungarian army, as the rumor had
been Sspread in Paris that the Prusslan
Ambassador in Rome had endeavored to
highten the excitement of the Papal Gov.
ernment against Austria about the mar
riage laws, and to prevent reconciliation
between Rome and Vienna. This rumor is,
however, denounced by the Prussian, as
well as by the italian press, as mean
calumniation of Prussia. Both parties say
that such a thing was impossible for a
Prussian Ambassador, because an improve
ment is aimed at by the new Austrian mar
riage and school laws, such as has existed
and been practiced in Prussia this long
time past.
General Dumont, the commander of the
French army of occupation in the Papal
States, is apparently on very good terms
with the Clerical authorities there. He has
lately had an opportunity to repeat the
famous "never", of Minister Rooher in re-
gard to the worldly power of the Pope. A
festival was given by the Delegate of Civ
ita Vechia to the French officers, when
General Dumont pronounced the following
toast: .'To Plus TX, the Supreme Priest,
whom France and the Emperor will never
abandon. Long live the Pope r' The Del
egate answered in a short speech, in which
he praised the services which the French
Emperor renders by the Holy See, by ex-
tending his protection to Rome; he, said
that the community generally was greatly
benefited by such services at the same
time, and ended with hurrah for the En-
peror. ..~. --f-
The latest news from Algeria is anything
but favorable, in spite of the crop of CO.
reals having commenced already. Famine
still prevails in many parts of the coun.
try, and the epidemic which invariably fol-
lows famine claims innumerable VICTIMS
among the natives. There have, more.
over, been many heavy rain showers,
which had caused foundations, and COM
pletely destroyed the harvest in many
places. -. r-.,- ..-

Who Is to BE Our COnEressf onal
NOmiue i'm this DISTRICT?

| who Is to BE Our COnEresSiO Onal
| Nominee i'm this DISTRICT?
This question seems to absorb all others
at the present time in Franklin county. II
should be remembered in this connec-
tion, that for the last four years the
member has been from Clarke county
and it has been the universal com.
plant of all parties that Mr.. Shellabarger
paid no attention to the local interests OF
this county. No appropriation was made
for our Arsenal last year, and Columbus is
the only capital city of its size without a
postoffice Government building. The Rad
ical party by the nomination of Judge
Winans, of Greene, and the rejection OF
the Hon, Samuel Galloway, General
Walcutt and all other Franklin county
men have evinced determination to con-
tinue this state of things, which makes the
largest county of the district mere kite
to the Radical tail.
The Democracy by nominating Frank
lin county man have an excellent opportu-
nifty to take advantage of this blunder and
make votes here, where there is the largest
floating material. John L. Thomas, ESQ.,,
OF Clarke, Colonel Baber and Senator
Hutcheson, of Franklin, are the only
avOwed candidates for the nomination.
Without saying anything in disparagement
of either of the other gentlemen, everybody
acknowledges the peculiar fitness and
energy of Colonel Baber as calculated to
make an excellent local representative.
His zeal and work are untiring for any OBJ
ject he undertakes, and his ability as a
speaker and writer is unquestioned. On
political topics he is as well posted as any
man in the State, and ready to take the
stump and carry on canvass vigorously.
Judge Winans was the man who lent him
self on the Bench to make party decision
in the Xenia case, so as to enable hundreds
of illegal negro votes to be polled in
Greene county to defraud the people out of
an honest election. Colonel Baber is Just
the man to fight this issue through
the district, and with him as a
candidate there can be no lodging on this
point. Over 2,700 majority was given in
this district against Negro Suffrage, and if
this issue is pressed as Baber can do it, TO-
gether with full expose in every township
by plain talk to the people, Democratic
triumph is sure. Colonel Baber was first
proposed as candidate in Madison county,
and has warm friends all over the district,
and Franklin county, by supporting him
as unit in the Nominating Convention on
Monday next, could not be charged with
forcing her man on other counties, for he
has outspoken friends in all. Let the peo-
l.
primary elections to-day and select dele
gates who will work for the Union and
success of the party, and the triumph of
Democratic principles. Choose candi-
date from the Capital District, one who can
boldly tiaunt our flag in the face of the
enemy on any field.

So we 60.


We met a gentleman the other morning
who soon commenced discussing the Pres
idential prospect.
'There must be a CHANGE said he,
"there will be a change. Why, have
three neighbors who never voted any other
than the Republican ticket. This fall they
will vote the Democratic ticket. They
want change. They know that by no
possibility can change make matters
worse, and there is every reason to believe
that things will be made better. At any
rate, they are going to vote for change
and what is true with regard to them must
be true with regard to thousands of Re-
publicans."
We concurred. The feeling is general
that there should be political change in
the administration of the Government.
