A WRITER in the New York Tribune
speaks thus of the noted play the "Whi:e
| Fawn":-
The intention of the managers undoubtedly
is to make money, and, having studied human
nature, they found it easiest TO debauch it,
One of my first impressions on behol,ling so
many young women capable of adorning socie-
ty, and being made happy. yet lost to shame,
was hat they felt it would be Il greater shame
to earn an honest living, or that they had
sought in vain. Turning to the audience,
could not help thinking that each had poor
opinion of each. The lady coming in with IA
gentleman either had been cold to her husband,
or had left him. or was in u fair way to leave
him, or she had never been married, but had
better be; that gentleman, bringing a lady
whose train swept the aisle, had other claims
| far away, Or his domestic life was feyerish and
unhappy; snd the young men coming by them
selves, had come TO lay the foundation for do
nestle intidelity, and fora waste of opportuni-
ties and means. The saddest sight was i'm the
Young couples, with rosy cheeks and hopeful
eyes. How many siltlngs are required to cor
rupt young girl do not know but felt that
no place can equal this for debauching the soul
i and that when girl, ut last. is delighted wi h
these scenes. her dag OF ruin cannot be far
away. For, before one comes to admire these
things. the finest sensibities must be shocked
beyond expression. and modcsty-that espec-
ial jewel of the human soul-lnust be degi AIDED
TO the dust. 10 slt in that place, hour after
hour, calls into being such a feeling as never
arises in any intercourse between those who
love. and who hope to be united. or between
those who have been united .ong, and it is
unknown in any other condition OF life.

But little additional Intelligence has
been received relative to the Erie Railroad
accident at Port .Jervis. 1t is understood
that the injured remaining at Port Jervis
are doing we'll. The number of persons
killed is now said to be 81. but a complete
list has not yet been received. The report
that the wreck was buIned after the killed
and wounded had been removed, lacks
confirmation. The slightly wounded have
arrived here and left for their homes.
The track has been cleared and repaired
and trains are again running.

The New York Independent. which has
therefore, been an adherent of Chief Justice
Chase, now says /:
A short time ago, we thought that the
greatest gift which this journal could offer
to the coming Chicago Convention was
Mr.. CAase,s illustrious name. We now
have reason to believe that Mr.. Chase
| would not accept the Republican nomina
ton. even if it were rendered. We have
equal reason to believe. also, that he would
accept the Democratic nomination, if it
could be rendered Oh platform not incon-
sistcnt with his well-known views Of negro
suffrage.

Of each State respectively, and that any
attempt by Congress-, on any pretext what
ever, to deprive any State of this right, or
to interfere with it's exercise, is fragrant
usurpation of power which can find no
warrant in the Constitution; and, if sane
toned by the people, will subvert our form
of Government, and can only end in a
single centralized and consolidated Co.
vcrnment, in which the separate existence
OF the States will be entirely absorbed, and
an unqualified despotism be established
In place Of q Federal Union of co-equal
States; and that we regard The reconstruc-
tlon Acts (so-calied) of Congress as such
volutlonary, and void; that our soldiers
and sailors, who carried the flag Of our
country to victory against a most gallant
ana determined foe, must ever be CRATE
lully remembered, and all the guarantees
given in their favor must be faithfully car
ried into execution.
That the public lands should be distri-
buted as widely as possible among tho
people, and should be disposed of either
under the pre-emption Of homestead lands.
and sold in reasonable quantities. and to
nonC but actual occupants, at the mini
mum price established by the Government
When grants of the public lands may be
allowed, necessary, for the encouragement
OF important public improvements, the
proceeds of the sale of such lands, and not
the lands themselves, should be so ap-
piled.
That the President of the United States,
Andrew Johnson, i'll exercising the power
OF his high Office in resisting the .aggres-
sions OF Congress. upon the constitutional
rights Of the States and the people, is en-
titled to the gratitude of the whole Ameri
can people, and in behalf of the Democra-
tic party, we tender him our thanks for his
patriotic efforts in that regard.
Upon this platform, the Democratic
the conservative element and all who de-
sire to support the Constitution and re-
store the Union, forgetting all past differ
ences of opinion, to unite with us in the
present great struggle for the liberties of
the people; and that to all such, to what
ever party they may have heretofore be-
longed, we extend the right hand of fell
lowship, and hail all such cooperating
with us as friends and brethren.
