MERITEp PROMOTION.

We notice with pleasure that the City Ma
tonal Bank has appointed its efficient book
keeper Walter Hyslop, assistant cashier.
Mr.. Hyslop has been with the bank since its
organization, and no gentleman in this COM
munity is more deservedly popular. He has
been resident Of our city for the past ten
years, and his urbanity and unyielding integ-
rity have won for him host of friends.
--------s -r~--
The police courts wear their usual air Of
dullness. Nothing transpired this morning,
and only a single case was promised for the
afternoon.
There will not, probably, be the usual strife
for the city attorneyship at the ensuing cleo
ton, ms the promised salary viii not justify a
very large amount of treating friends etc.
Indeed Butler, who has been there would
advise any friend who feels aspirations in that
direction, to check Them and secure instead
seasons contract Of wood choppng.

THE snALl.pox-pRonrr ACTION DEMANDED

The smallpox cases in our city may yet be
isolated, if our city authorities will act with
that promptness the emergency demands.
That ii is spreading, it would be the height of
folly to deny; and that it may result in at
least temporary disaster to our business inter-
csts, unless prevention Is officially intcrposed,
is equally true. We need, and must have, a
corporation pest house. The few hundred
dollars expen>e involved must not delay such
provision single day. What is $500, or even
$1,000 when compared with the general well
fare of the city, or the lives of n score or
more of our citizens2 What Is that paltry
sum compared with even single life2 Moth

IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO pEALERs.

The following special order concerning the
rcpacking and reinspectionO Of certain kinds
of tobacco will be interesting and pleasant
reading to our dealers in the west:

| amended by the act of December ~, 1868,
| provides that after the fifteenth day of Feb
ruary, 1869, no smoking or fine cut chewing
tobacco or snuff shall be sold or offered for
sale unless put up in packages and stamped
as required by said act. II is represented
that, notwithstanding the extension of time,
many dealers will be put to great inconveni-
ence and expense unless they can be permit
ted to repack stocks on hand now in bulk
packages into the packages as now required
by law under the supervision of the proper
officers of internal revenue.
In order to furnish the relief desired it is
directed that the repacking and reinspection
of such stocks may be made under the follow
ing regulations, viz: r-...
Any dealer in manufactured tobacco who

return of the same to the assessor of the dis
trict as required by section IS, may apply to
such assessor and on submitting 10 him salts
factory proof that the tobacco which the
dealer desires to rcpack and have reinspected
was properly reinspected under the former
law and was included in his inventory made
pursuant to section 7s ofthe act of July 20,
1868, said assessor may direct an inspector of
tobacco for the district to supervise the re-
packing. The tobacco having been put up in
the packages required, may be packed in cases
or enclosures of such size us the dealer may
desire.
II will be the duty of the inspector to per-
sonally supervise the packing in these cases
or enclosures, and when the work is done he

viz; "Rcpacked under my supervision" to-
gether with the date, the state and district,
and his own name and official title; and he

The close reader of human nature would be
highly entertained by an hours visit ut the
office Of any of our leading physicians. The
diversity Of character to be seen there among
the applicants for vaccination, and the de-
grees of fear controlling them form an en-.
gaging study. Question any of them and you
will ascertain that the disease does not exist
in their Immediate neighborhood, but is fair
ly raging somewhere else A comparison of
notes thus obtained will induce the belief that
il is rery bad nowhere. Some will bear their
arms couragcously and think themselves
cheated If regular pocket Is not cut in il and

Get. A remarkable nature has this humanity
of ours.

ARRIVALS.



D
The weather continues clear and Is much
more mild. The strong north wind has ceased,
and a gentle southwest breeze has taken its
place, The cold spell still continues farther
north. Snow fell for six hours at Louisville
last Monday morning. The river is rising
slowly ut st. Louis, and light rise is coming
down the Missouri. The Illinois was open to
Peoria for few days but has closed again.
The Ohio is falling slowly at Louisville,
with eight over the falls, but rising steadily
at Pittsburg, with fourteen feet water in the
channel. A heavy snow storm fell thore on
Monday which turned to rain and consider
able water is xpected-perhaps enough TO be
called food, unless the weather turns very
cold.
A tremendous rain has fallen on the other
side of the Alleghanies, carrying of the ac-
cumulation of SHOWS very rapidly, and caus-
ing great destruction of property on the Hud-,
son river. The breaking up of the ice above
Albany, New York. was attended with fear
full loss to warehouses and water craft.
Here the river has risen two inches, from
the rise in the Mississippi, and will probably
rise for day or two more. The rise from
the Ohio has about passed. The present head
rise at Pttsburg will not reach here for about
week, at which time it is hoped the river
will have fallen considerably at this point.
Business at this port continues fair, and
there is still an excess Of freight. The Bee
did not leave for New Orleans until this
morning, and her receipts at this port foot NJ

Moro RELIGIOUS Conventions.

The excitement occasioned by the recent
great gathering in New York of Presbyterians
of the Old School and of the New, with view
to union, has hardly subsidized when other re-
ligious conventions meet at different points
throughout the country. On Wednesday last
the Episcopal Convention of the Diocese Of
Connecticut commenced in New Haven its an
nual session. Bishop Williams presided, and
in his annual address particularly alluded to
the very important subject Of securing change
in the divorce laws of the State, and expressed
hope that some action might be taken to
maintain the holiness Of the married relation.
Statistics show that during the last year the
Gland Of steady habits" has rivalled even
Indiana in the frequency and disgraceful
facility of divorces. On Wednesday also, in
the meeting at Philadelphia Of the General
Synod Of the Reformed Church Of Pennsylva-
MIA, the committee to which certain documents
denouncing Freemasonry as "deistical, idola-
trous, anti Christian and hostile to the Church."
reported that they had neither the time nor the
books Of reference at hand to verify or refntc
the assertions and arguments contained In
these documents. "Many of them they be-
lievc to be exaggerated, If not entirely un-
founded" They conclude their report by say
ing =" without attempting defence or his
tory Of Masonry, your committee would re-
mind their brethren that, in our own country,
at least, the Order has numbered among its
members some of the purest and noblest men,
statesmen, Christians, and not a few ministers

Convention in Pittsburg, Pa, refused, by q
vote of forty eight TO nine, to admit to, Che

bama Claims.

II appears that powerful, body of party
leaders Is at work to make the platform OF
Senator Summers speech on the Alabama
claims the important plank in the republican
platform In the approaching fall elections. It
further appears that q movement has been
proclaimed from the headquarters of the Irish
republicans Of Philadelphia, looking to the
fusion OF the 'Irish vote" of the Union with
the republican party on this Alabama question.
In behalf Of the liberation OF Ireland. This is
q shrewd conception, and If put into practice
will inevitably make tremendous pull upon the
democratic balance of power, even in this city.
II is probable, too, that unless the republicans
bring these Alabama claims into the fore
ground the party win be thrown into the
background In these approaching State cleo
lions.
There are, however, certain old slow-coach
radicals, ''bloated bondholders' and such,
who are frightened at the thought Of a war
with England. Such war, they say, will
bring upon us population, with ell its evils.
This Is moonshine. There will be no war
from demand upon England to settle up
these claims. The upshot will be that of Cen
eral Jackson's threat Of reprisals in default of
the payment Of those old claims upon France
for her spoliations upon our commerce. That
bill was promptly settled, on firm demand,
and this bill will be. At all events, If the
republicans fail to come up to the popular SEN
timent on these Alabama claims their party
will be Aanked by the democracy on this
issue.

AN INDIAN CONGRESS. The representatives
of the civilized Indians of the Indian Terri
tory now In Washington propose to have q
Congress, to which Mr.. Commissioner Parker
thinks Of inviting representatives from some
Of the savage tribes to 60 with him in order
to be convinced that it is better to cultivate
the arts Of peace than to tear up railroads,
scalp white men, murder them and eat their
boiled hearts; capture white women and
knock out white babies brains, or in any
other horrible way take vengeance on rough
frontiersmen for killing a. squaw. The
savages who should accompany Colonel
Parker to the In dian Congress could not fail
to be impressed by the spectacle of comfort
and prosperity presented by the partially
civilized tribes, which, with their schools,
churches, farms and villages, occupy the
Indian Territory lying west of the Missis-
sippi and the State of Arkansas and north of
Texas.

for every disease, though years later he could
count more than twenty diseases for which
he knew no cure. Just now the remedies
run on smallpox. One wise man prescribes q
