WHAT THEY THINK ON THE Nuy.-There
are so many Americans in Egypt and they
spend their money 10 freely that the natives,
who suppose all the wealth Of the world Is
concentrated in the capital Of Great Britain,
fancy these Yankees are new race that have
captured London and propose to spend all the
money in Egypt. The Egyptians may be
prophets yet If John Bull doa't pay up.

ADVANCING BACKWARDS. - 1t was a great
point in the world progress when it was clearly
seen that the State had no necessary relation to
the Church, and our constitution was not so
excellent in scarcely any other point as in the
fact that it confined government strictly to it's
province. 1t left out the Church; and If in
doing this 1t seemed TO leave out God this was
because that is a subject on which there is no
agreeing, and the disagreement and definition
brings in the Church. Now, some pious ante
diluvians want to change that, aud want 10
have God in the constitution. But what God ?
This is very easy to answer just now; but by
and by we shall have on the Continent twenty
million men of Chinese race, and they will
want TO make ii Buddh.

RHODE ISLAND HARD UP.-The national
banks Of Providence ara in sorry
condition. No one but q Jewish Moses
can get them out Of their financial Egypt
Judging from the fact that their agents come
over to the United States very often to bor-
row q few greenbacks at high premium, thcy
must be waiting for the arrival Of Moses. The
day before yesterday they were so hard up
that one bank had not on hand thousand
dollars, and one Of the principal banks, the
Merchants, could not scrape together little
over three thousand dollars without running
great risks from the bank inspectors. We
advise the government to send an examiner
there TO see If the rival houses Of Capulet and
Montague have absorbed all the spare cash
in their quarrel over the division of Provi-
demos plantations. L,t him remember, how
ever, that providence alone ''helps him who
helps himself" and takes his rations with him,
for there Is no hotel.

BERaH AT THE FERRY.-Mr. Bcrgh went to
Roosevelt street ferry when the tide was down
and caught two carmen, as we told him he
might. He brought them before judge and
the judge let them go. On what factsP 1t
was shown that two horses were drawing six
thousand pounds, and o man swore that it was
not half load for them. Tall swearing that {!
By the Corporation ordinances man may re-
fuse load that weighs over ton. Two
thousand pounds is, therefore, maximum for
one horse, and here two horses were compelled
to draw six thousand pounds. If It were on a
level this might not be so terrible bnt 1t is the
steep ascent Of the ferry bridge that is murder
GUS. But little was said of that in court.

VIRGINIA.
Iicutenanl-i :cvernOr Lewis, one of the Pros
pcctfvc Senators.

pcctivc Senators.
The Richmond Dispatch of yesterday gives the fol-
lowing sketch of Leutenant-Governor John f.
Lewis, of Virginia, who last evening received the
nomination for the United States Senatorship from
the Walker Legislative caucus and will undoubtedly
be elected to-day as one of the representatives in
the national Senate from that State:-
Lewis is name well known throughout Virginia.
1t has been worn by many Of her best citizens in
colonial and revolutionary times and in the present
day, Not few members of the family have been
honored with positions of trust in the state and
National Governments. The subject of this sketch is
son Of General Samuel II. Lewis, of Rockingham,
a man of unusual talents and fine attainments, re-
Gently deceased. He has always lived in the neigh
borhood of his birthplace, and, devoting himself to
agriculture, has, by industry ana honest dealing,
aInassed a competency for his family He has never
dabbed in politics, but his opinions public affairs
are, always clearly defined, frankly expressed and
generally known to the people OF his county. In
1850 they elected him by handsome majority TO the
State Convention; As candidate he proclaimed
of the Convention every vote cast proved him faith
fu to his pledges Conscientious In the belief that
the true welfare of Virginia depended upon her adj
herence TO the Federal Government, he stood out,
like Lewis, to the last, and was one OF the few
members who persistenty refused to sign the ordi-
nance of secession, and never did sign 1t.
During the war Mr.. Lewis maintained his Union
sentiments, when nearly every man OF us believed it
treason to do so: but he always a Virgnian,
and whatever might have been the Judgment OF the
body of the people upon his course, he never for
moment lost the respect or confidence of the people
of his immediate vicinity to whom he was best
! known. Since the war he has taken prominent
part in the work of reconstruction, but has never
IraternZed with the extremists believing that the
work might be safely entrusted to citizens of Vir-
gna. AT the late election he chosen Lieutenant
Governor by majority OF 90 443; his personal popu-
larity being attested by the fact that he led his ticket
by PIG votes. lie now fills the Olce of Lieutenant
Governor by military appointment, and is eE o6tciO
! President of the Senate. ... -
Governor Lewis is about fifty years of age, is tall
| rather awkward in his movements, but has very
pleasant manners, and makes friends easily. He Is
! ghly-esteemed member OF the Protestant Epis-
c0pal Church. and is frequent attendant upon the
! councils and conventions OF that denomination.

The Threatened ReyuIsion in s,

The Threatened Revision In San Francisco.
The San Francisco Herald laments the financial
condition of affairs in that city, and predicts many
failures within the next sixty days. 1t remarks-
There is no use attempting to disguise the fact that
hundreds of our strongest and most solveRt men
in jeopardy-not that they are less wealthy in sub
stance than In the ordinary times OF their prosperity
but that there ia no medium by which they can
represent, in trade and traffic from hand to hand,
the values they possess. The State never was so
prosperous, substantially, as today and yet never
was there more gloomy day for the people OF the
State who are in anywise engaged in business.
Strange and disgraceful anomay as it is, many OF
merchants will fail in the next sixty days, who
have property ten times the amount Of their liabi-
ties, unless something be in the meantime done to
alleviate their Distress Cd.
Why do not the bankers call meeting of the mer-
chants and men OF business, and propose plan for
easing OF the difficulty? Why do not the citizens
meet and protest against the outrage Of collecting
taxes at time when ruin is staring everybody in
the face? Think Of the policy OF locking up In the
city treasury sl,9OO,0Ol and abstracting that sum
from general circulation when the depletion OF coin
from the veins OF commerce is just booming COM
merce to death Let no man pay taxes. We do not
advocate the defraudng OF the city treasury the
revenues of the State; but to demand the payment
now is not merely mockery, but it is tyranny and
piece Of arrant dishonesty. The tax collector must
stop. If that be added to the other burdens and
calamties, there will be hundreds OF bankruptcies

Highway Robberies In Colorado,


'The South Park coach, which left Farplay on
Tuesday morning and arrived in this city last even
ing" says the Denver (Col) Nelcs OF the 9th inst,
'was stopped and robbed yesterday by three nigh
waymen, between the st. Louis and Omaha ranches,
about thirty-three miles from Denver Inere were
no passengers on the coach; and the driver was
therefore going slowly up the hill at The place named
and was looking down at the wagon, when ne was @
startled by the command Haiti Looking up ne
found a man, whose face was blackened, stand
ing by the roadside with a cooked rne drawn
upon him. Stopping the team as soon as ne
could, Farnum, the driver, received an order
to hold up his hands, and next TO deliver
up the treasure-boX. He replied that ne had none,
as it was not the coach which brought IL down. The
highwayman then told him to get out OF the wagon
and go a certain distance away, whicn he dld, and
while he was standing there the fellow examined
everything in the wagon, feeling the mail sacks,
and Shifting their contents from one end OF the sack
10 the other Finding no gold dust, the robDer next
ordered Farnum to take OH ms coat, ana on going
throuph il he found about $40 in money, and also
small sack OF gold, value about $l6O belonging to
Mr A. Bergh, of BucksRin. These he took, returned
the coat and told Farnum to drive on as fast as he
could The order was quickly obeyed.
con looking back after his escape Farnum saw
two more men sitting not far from the road,
evidently the companions of the robber. They
had with them two pack mules, with packs on them"

A Supposed Murder.

Says the Wilmington (DeL) Commercial OF yester-
day
Yesterday morning the body of a man was found
below the railroad, near wood pile There were
marks of violence about the head and face, which
aroused suspicious Of foul play A large crowd
assembled and excitement ran high.
Coroner Pendergast held an inquest on the body,
which was carried into shed at Bush s coal yard
II was recognized as that OF Daniel McKenna who
had been working for Thomas Shannon, a baker in
Monroe street, between Second and Third.
Dr. w. Il. Quinby testified-'I have made post
mortem examination OF the body supposed TO be
that OF Daniel Mckenna, and find q confused wound
one men above the left eyebrow. The outer treble
OF the skull ls depressed, find three incsed wounds
on his chin and one on his under lip, ana one on his
left upper eyeld. None OF these wounds are sum-
clent 70 cause death, but TO produce nsensibiity
consider these wounds TO have been produced by q
blow or blows OF q club or other weapons
However, the popular impression is that the man
fell into the gutter while drunk, and that death was
caused by both the liquor he had taken and the In
iuTies he received in falling.
