Council NAV announce in regard to

A London dispatch Of the lstsays:
Another meeting of the holders of
Confederate bonds was held this
evening. Admiral Warren, who pre-
sided, said he considered the position
of the bOndhOlders better even than
if the late convention between Eng
land and America had been ratified,
for their claims were now 20 be adjudi-

read report detailing what had been
done in prosecuting the claims and
explaining the present aspect of the
case. He said they were not fighting
their own, but the battle of all those
whose interests might be affected by
changes of government, the principle
involved being the inviOlability of
contracts made by dc tGcfo govern
ments. The decision of Baron
Hathcrley, the Lord Chancellor, was
in their favor, and he believed q
court Of equity would adjudicate the
amount of cotton claimed which
would make the bonds valuable.
Resolutions protesting against Mr..
Summers speech, and authorizing
petition to Parliament, were read, but
were not put to vote, and, without
taking action, the meeting adjourned.
Laura Ream, writing to the
C0mieT-JOuH0i, from indianapolis,
says: One of our papers deprecated
the presence Of the social evil at For
paugh's menagerie, rs ii it did not
take two to make mischief, andmen
were not more to blame than women.
1t is grotesque, to say the least, to
hear men talk of an evil of their own
brewing. when it is a well known fact
that for one frail woman there are fifty
men. Such a thing has been known
as man capable Of devotion to his
victim. but as a general thing liber-
tines despOil, corrupt and abandon the
unfortunate objects of their passions,
and are thus at the root and finding Of
the social evil which IS developed in
the Police Court and COroners verdict,
and occasionally breaks out in a
" scandal in high life." Such men leg
islate, too, against the evil, and if, in
the plain language of an apostle of
virtue, called upon to "stop the mar
ket," raise the pitiful cry that the re-
form is as much needed among women
as among men. So ii is, but whatever
men may say, it is Gods holy truth
that there never was bad woman
who was not made so by q bad man.
She may have become an instrument
of wrath beyond his intent or fOresee-
ing, but at his door lie the sin and the
accountability.
