The solicitors of Lady Byron have fastened,
in the name of her family, to disclaim all
countenance of Mrs. Stoves pretended revela-
ton of the causes of Lord Byrons separation
from his wife. In the communication which
they have sent to the London journals they
distinctly declare that the article of Mrs.
Stowe in the AAantic Monthly is not COM
plete or authentic statement and does not
involve any direct evidence. They say that
nothing is communicated but recolections Of
conversation held thirteen years ago and
impressions derived from manuscript read
under great excitement. They very reasona-
bly, protest against Mrs. Stoves account as q
gross breach Of trust and confidence, as incon-
sistent with her own recommendations to Lady
Byron, and as q violation of the express
terms Of her will Perhaps, under the cir
cumstances, no more explicit contradiction Of
the slander could be made by the solicitors OF
Lady Byron. But so far as it goes, it should
suffice to counteract the quasi-endorsement Of
Mrs. Stoves story by the London Daily Ne,os.
No doubt the whole subject will be thoroughly
sifted and conclusively settled In due time by
writers for the leading English periodicals.
Meanwhile we commend to their special atten-
ton the mastery refutation by Count
Johannes, in Thursdays HERALD, Of Mrs.
Stoves libel on the dead -------.'

The London Times, in its editorial Of yester

manifest desire Of Lady Byrons solicitors &
discredit the story, but adds that they do no
contradict it. The Times says, moreover, II
is impossible that Mrs. Stowe understood ono

Tho Natisdai Temperance Convention.

The Natiedal Temperance Convsutlen.
The National Temperance Convention at
Chicago has proclaimed its platform, declaring
that its members adhere to the Declaration OF
Independence and the constitution that tho
traffic in Intoxicating drinks is demoraIizine
and dishonorabe to Christian civilization, and
cannot be regulated or restrained by any
system of license whatever; that inasmuch a.
our existing political parties will do nothing
for the suppression of rum drinking, an inds-
pendent 'anti-dram shop" party is necessary;
that the temperance people accordingly will
operate as an ''anti-dram shop party, going st
the same time against all reputation of the
public debt. Subsequently 1t was agreed to
call this new organization the "national tenn
perance party" and it is to have national
executive committee. Some Of the speakers
of the Convention looked upon tho project as .
Trojan horse against the republican party.
One member promised hundred dollars .
dozen for democratic temperance men; but the
discovery that Brick Pomeroy is temperance
man softened down somewhat these appre-
tensions Of democratic strategy. We fear,
however, that if even Brick Pomeroy b
required to mix temperance and opposition 10
reputation he will stick to tho democratic
ticket rand whistle this new temperance
party down the wind. In short, as q third
party 1t may be pronounced from the start .

Attorney General Hoar and tho Test
Oath in Virginia.

Attorney General Hoar and tho Tsst

be submitted to Congress, this opinion, If the
abstract be correct, merely decides, in round
