Mime. Victor Hugo has left in her
will the pen with which her iilustriOus
husband wrote the first volume of the
CONCENTRATIONS to Jules Janin, with the
following message To our friend ia

The pen which Victor Hugo wrote Les
Chatimsnts, was given by him to Camille
Bsrru, the Secretary Of the Indenpen-
dence Beige, who has had it carefully
placed beneath glass and preserved in
his library, with note from the author
to certify the fact.

Miss Rose Craig, OF Marietta, who, for
some weeks past has been an inmate OF
q house of ill-fame, in Parkersburg, West
Va, killed man in that place few
nights ago. The man insisted upon go
Ing into the house, and Rose threatened
to kill him If he did so. He went in,
needless Of her threat, when she attacked
him with razor, cutting his throat
from ear to ear, and killing him almost
instantly. She was arrested, examined
before q magistrate, ana bound over in
5000 bail. \ young clerk of Psrkers-
burg went upon the bond, and the woman
was released from custody. She was in
Marietta the same day, f4unting her
gaudy colors upon the streets, as unc0n-
eerned as though nothing unusual had
occurred.

THE SKOPTSI.
Conspiracy for the Overthrow
OF Alexander, of Russia.

The Russian Government has discov-
cred a widespread conspiracy among the
religious sect known as the SkOptsi, or
self-mutil9tors, such conspiracy having
for its obi ct the overthrow OF the Cz ",
Alexander H., and the elevation of the
chief OF the sect in his place. The
leaders OF the conspiracy reside in the
city Of MOrchansk, and the Government
has caused their arrest and the seizure Of
their property. In the house Of the
chief, GOLD and bank notes to the amount
OF more than ten million roubies were
found and seized, and the premises, at
last accounts, were under strict surveil-
lance.
1t is not very probable that the Gov
eminent Of Russia can be in great dan
ger from this boiy Of fanatics. Tneir
number is not large enough to endangar
the safety Of the Emperor when backed
by the enormous military force that
owes him allegiance. The sect has It's
origin two or three hundred years ago,
and has adherents in nearly all parts of
the Empire /; but their peculiar practices
tend to make them the reverse OF sggres-
sive, and probably the last thing they
would attempt is open warfare. Peter
III. was said to belong the order, and for
this reason, among others, Catharine II.
was not inclined to look upon him
with favor. The Government has
steadily endesvored to break up the
sect, and whenever a member of
it is found he is banished to Siberia, and
his property is cOnfscated TO the crown.
About thirty years ago some OF the
Skoptsi were drafted into one of the reg
iments of Cossacks in Circsssia but it
was found that, while they were trsotR-
BILE and obedient, they were psrsuading
many of their comrades in arDns to quail
ify themselves for admission into the or
der. The Emperor issued q ukase that
none of these men should be thereafter
drafted into the army, and the practice
at present is to send them as eolonists
into northern Siberia. There are several
villages Of Skoptsi on the Lena and
Yenesei rivers, and within the past ten
years, few of them have been allowed
TO settle on one OF the tributaries Of the
Amoor.
The money-changers of Moscow and
st. Petersburg are supposed to belong to
this sect, and there is hardly city OF
any note in Europe that does not con-
tain society of them. As the Gov
vingly, their meetings are hell in secret,
and many Of their proceedings are not
known to the outer world. The mem
bers Of the orthodox Russian church
look upon them as fanatics, and, should
any attempt be made by them upon the
authority Of the Gar, there is little
doubt that it would be speedily sup
pressed.

WATCHES.

THE extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors. En-
glneers and Expressmen, the most exactlng of
watch wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated
the strength, steadineSs. durability and accu-
raey Of the Walthsm Watch. To satisfy that
class in all these respects, is to decide the ques
ton as to the real value OF these time-keepeTs.
The superior organization and great extent
OF the G. mpanys Works at Walthsm enable
them to produce watches combining the best
and latest improvements, and at price which
renders competition futile, and tho who buy
any other watch merely pay from 25 TO 50 per
cent. more for their watches than is necessary.

LAWYERS IN A FLUITER.
The New Orleans Courts stopped.

From the New Orleans Times of tuesday,
There WAS great commotion Yesterday
in all the courts, growing out OF the late
tax law, which imposes q penalty of
$500 upon all judges who permit lawyers
without license to practice before them
Several Of the judges declined proceeding
with cases until some definite decision
could be arrived at relative to the effect
Of said law. Several OF the lawyers ex-
hibited their tax receipts, but the licenses
not having been printed, could not be
furnished. Several declared that they
did not know of the existence Of the law.
Others declared that the law was pslpa-
bly, unconstitutional, and that the Judge
could not be required to perform any but
Judicial duties. Judges beaumont and
Cooley thought it best to suspend pro-
ceedings in their oourts. Judge Collins,
however, determined to continue trials
and give parties a fair opportunity OF
complying with the law. In the Su-
preme Court the Attorney-Genera
moved that ten days be allowed to the
members of the bar to comply with the
requirements OF the law. Judge Cooley,
having intimated his indisposition to
incur 4 fine, even under lsw which was
not constitutional, one Of the lawyers
proposed that the bar SHOULD indemnify
the Judge against all risks Of prosecution
and penalty. The judge, however, could
not see it, and was not ambitious OF hgu-
ring in penal prosecution, even though
backed by the whole bar. The general
result was syncope OF justice, aad an
outpouring Of legal wrath, the like OF
which was never seen or heard before.
The Republic was never in 90 great peril
Of utter destruction and extinction.
Justice fairly screamed in agony and
wrath. Clerks looked unutterable things.
Deputy Sheriffs we're rather pleased ct
tn cessation of their lsbors, and at the
great disgust manifested by the lawyers.
Clients who were plaintiffs thought It
devilish hard that they should be delayed
In their rights by the delinquency or i'm
pecuniosity OF their attorneys, and chaos
reigned through the halls OF justice.

NEW ITILY.

No one well acquainted with the struggle
maintained by the Italians against barbaric op-
preston and its manifold accompanying evils
can deny that, as a people, they are fairly
entitled to receive the good wishes and
and human progress OF course they
have at present to contend with vast
domestic cares and difficulties; there are
problems awaiting solution in Italy equally
as in France, England or the United States;
but withal, two very encouraging facts stand
out in behalf of their future These facts are
that the new kingdom Of Italy is to-day in n
more promising condition than ever before;
and that Italian nationality or unity, hereto
fore merely a strong sentiment is now an ac-
tual, vital fact, notwithstanding the division
To which it has been subjected by long centu-
ries of tyranny. r
The opponents Of the new kingdom catch at
straws or the merest trties, IN order to assert
the union of Italy chimera. OF course Provi-
donce is called in to bear witness that the PENN
sula was never created to exist under one Gov
ernment They lay great stress upon diiier-
ences of dialect and customs, upon petty jeal-
ousies existing among the inhabitants of the
various provinces, and so on. The Italians
aptly ask-Is there country on earth whose
inhabitants have no local attachments, pride, or
iealousiesg 1t is true, dialects, or patoiS,
exist all over italy, and are serious
drawback to the development of the
popular intelgence-as is more or less the
case in other countries of Europe; but, then,
these diaReai are rapidly vanishing before the
| labor of schools and colleges. The grammar
and the dictionary will soon spread the gen
nine Tuscan into universal use as certainly
as that two and two make four. The language
nodded and established by Dante has in
truth encountered vast obstacles in its path
way; !; but a people who have been re-
duced for long and weary centuries to
the defective and scanty medium OF
patois in which to convey their thoughts
and words, is surely entitled to some excuse
| if its intellectual growth has also been some-
what slim and stunted. The fact that the Italian
| mind is yet SO bright even under all its past
depressing circumstances, is the best token
of the high genius with which that race is
| gifted. Under the regime existing ten years
ago-which it is the redeeming glory OF Cavour
! to have knocked to pieces-when the peninsula
was cut up into dozen petty Principallties, the
Italian language was placed under ban. The
talker of pure Tuscan was accounted an Ifaf-
ianissimo of republican proclivities-a very dan
Qerous character The little tyrant princes dld

The hopeful expressions OF the new Secretary
of the Treasury, concerning his ability to an
ticipate payment of interest or principal on
considerable sums of our bonds, and
the abundance of money for the ordinary
operations of the Department. find pleas
ant confirmation in the monthly statement
of the Public Debt, promptly published this
morning. The debt has been reduced over
two millions and half, in spite of the issue
of nearly three millions of bonds 10 inc
Pacific Railroads. Thus, aside from this extra
ordinary expenditure, which is to be stopped
within another month, the actual reduction oil
the Debt proper during the past month
amounted to five and a half millions; while
the present condition of the Treasury is such
that if this statement had been delayed
four or five days, after Mr.. MeCul-
loch's fashion, it might have shown
reduction of some four millions
more.-Thus, our Debt is diminishing, our re-
ceipts are increasing, and, under the honest
Administration we are to have, will still more
largely increase while simultaneously the
extraordinary outlays required by the
construction of the Pacific Railroads
approach their close, and give us
happy conjunction Of elements favorable to
the Public Credit. The situation is auspicious
and cheering. Who now can fail to see
the path to Resumptonf Continue to
appreciate the credit of the Government,
collect its revenue and stop its ex-
penditures by such means as are obviously
in the easy reach of the Administration, and
the time is at hand when we can sell for golt
long bond at low interest in any quantities
desired. Then, the business of the country
comes back once more to solid basis, for Re
sumption is achieved.

The Pennsylvania Senators yesterday led the
opposition to Gen. Longstreet in the Execu-
tive session. Their quarrel with him
was partly for his conduct in Penn
sylvania in the Gettysburg campaign,
but more for his talk. They thought he
ravaged the property of their constitu-
ents good DEAL but their main OBJ
lection was that writer in BlackWood'S
MdgaSine said that LOngstreet said that
he would have destroyed more property, but
for his desire to preserve the discipline of his
troops With due Difference to these excellent
Senators, we submit that they are draw
ing it pretty fine. When the worst
they can say against the conduct of a man
while he was our enemy in time OF
war is that an English magazine writer
quotes him as talking pretty hard
against us, they might as well sub
nit the case. Of course Gen. Longstreet fought
us to the best of his very marked ability.
1t is precisely because his enmity was
dangerous that we think his frienship might
be made valuable. When he professed the
one he was very much in earnest and very ef-
fective. We believe he will be found not less
so when he processes the other. 4 ..I.... .I

Gen. Butler and his supporters Aeem 10 have
done most of the talking (and to have done
some Of it rather rudely, too) in the
House yesterday, on the Mississippi question,
while Gen. Schenck, Mr.. Dawes. and
those. who sided with them, did a
good deal the most Of the voting. The
whole matter of Reconstruction in Mississippi
was postponed till next session by vote of
1O3 to SO. If this may be taken as fair indca-
ton of the temper of the House on the general
subject, we may infer that Georgia is also
likely to be left in its present anomalous con-
ditiOn until next December.

The Senate of the United States of Colombia
has refused to approve the Treaty recently
concluded between the United States and the
Colombian Government for the opening Of a
Canal across the Isthmus. The arguments of
the Committee which reported against the
Treaty were very insignificant; the main
argument being evidently that they desired a
larger sum of money. The foreign residents in
Panama have received the vote of the Senate
with great dissatisfaction, and many claim for
the State of Panama the right to take the mat
ter into their own hands, and enter into direct
negotiations on the subject. ...r
