capitol into bastile; it has established
system OF spies and official espionage to
which no constitutional monarchy of Eu-
rope would now dare to resort; it has abo-
lished the right of appeal on important
constitutional questions to the supreme
Judicial tribunals, and threatens to cur
tail or destroy its original jurisdiction,
which is irrevocably vested by the Consti
tuition, while the learned Chief Justice
has been subjected to the most atrocious

prostitute his high Office to the support of

extravaganza have exceeded anything

GIN. LORENZO THoMAs.-The Washington cor.
respondent of the New York Herald says: " Gen.
Lorenzo Thomas mounted the stand with jaunty
air. clad in bis full uniform, with brace of stars
on each shoulderstrap, and his coat, in style OF
careless elegance, half opened in 'front.' Every
body seemed to expect that the general would re-
lieve the superintendent weight Of dizziness in the
Senate by some facetious sallies, and in this re-
spect II cannot be said they were disappointed.
A little humor of some kind was never at such
premium. The general, in q clear voice, with a
peculiar rising infection, went on first ID detail
his interview with the president on the memorable
2lst of February. he told the story of mis- inter-
view with Stanton with ndiUete of manner which
was perfectly irresistible. Nothing fierce and
saDguinary, as some people might imagine, ever
TRANSFERRED between these two famous secretaries
of war, Stanton and Thomas. No two coong
doves ever met on milder terms. Thomas re-
spected, admired and almost loved Stanton, aud
stanton was the same toward Thomas.

NEW York POLICE IrEM.-0n Thursday even
ing of last week. in New York city, poor woman
named Catharine Robertson visited the church OF
st. Alphonsus, in Thompson street, carrying in
her arms a sickly infant. The crowd was very
dense. and she had great difficulty in forcing her
way through it. On regainine the street, to her
inexpressible grief she discovered that her child
was dead, and thereupon she cried in the most
heartrendng manner, which, of course, had the
effect OF gathering crowd Of people. A police
officer OF the eighth precinct, not fully under
standing the case, and thinking that the woman
was purposely creating disturbance, took her TO
the station house. The captain In command sent
her TO the thirteenth precinct station 70 be locked
up. The sergeant IN the latter place was shocked
az the idea Of imprisoning the woman with the
dead body Of her child, which she refused to give
up, and telegraphed 10 the captain, asking II he
was aware that the woman he had sent had q
dead child in her srms7 To which he replied in
the affirmative directing her to be locked up and
q notice given TO the coroner. The sergeant
allowed her to remain in the central room OF the
house, when another pompous captain ordered
her to be placed in cell. II would seem a. II
the sight Of that poor distressed woman. with the
corpse Of her loved child clasped to her breast,
rocking TO and fro mourning over her loss, would
have melted the ice from these Javarts OF the

aaepernl 6cho0eid Addresses the kecon-
attraction Convention Damage by storm.
RrcunoNp. April 17.-General scho6eld visited
and addressed the convention this morning: In
the course Of his remarks he said that the IRON
clad oath Of Office in MISREPRESENTATION was ex-
fremely Objectionable. He had administered the
reconstruction laws in the State more than
year. and stated as the result of his experience
that il would be practically impossible 70 carry
on the government OF Virginia on such basis:
In appointing registering officers he hac found
one, perhaps two, capable persons IN county
who could take this oath, and yet there were
thirty civil officers in these counties. In his
opinion the oath would be fatal TO the Constitu-
ton; In other respects the Constitution was
. neither better nor worse than those OF other
States but much depended upon the men first
elected to carry il out and that cath restricted
the range necessary for the selection Of the best
men. As a party measure it would be fatal.
Applause followed the address, and after Gen.
scho6eld left the hall heated debate con-
menced in efforts TO reconsider the vote adopting
the oath.

to the will was to 90 to his mother, TO be enjoyed
by her during her lifetime, and after her DEATH TO
be applied 20 the founding of an asylum for old
and INDECENT printers. It is understood now that
none Of his property has been so transferred. and
statements are made to the effect that neither the
money he was known to have possessed, nor any
assets have come to light. Much ado was made
about his funeral by members of the Savage
Club. bat there is drear silence yonder about his
deposit in banks. Il Is time, now. that somebody
spoke upon this matter. For three years previ-
Gus to his death Artemus Ward made great deal
OF money. and he certainly must have been
worth round sum when he died. Perhaps bis
English executors can project some light on the
subject.
