FOREIGN NEws.~--Thc news from abroad
this week, is not particularly lively though
there are interesting points. The irish
Church excitement in Great Britain has
subsidized, in consequence Of the pru-
dent withdrawal Of the opposition-and
the reform will now 90 on quietly. \
bill to abolish capital punishment has
been introduced in the House of Commons,
but defeated by two-thiris vote, The
Harvard boat crew are in sharp training
for their match with the Oxford men of
England. The subject Of cheaper ocean
postage is soon to be taken up in Parlia-

ing to lay Geographic cable from Scot
land to Quebec, by way Of the Orkney
and Farce Islands--ior Post Office uses
The English cotton-Spinners have taken
the alarm again in relation to the supply
Of raw material from America, and are
trying to eAtepd the railroad system of
India, so as TO bring forward heavier sup
plies from that country. An ihternation-
al industrial exhibition at London,is pro-
posed for 1871. The commissioners of
the Worlds Fair of 1861 are the prime
movers in the affair, \ great Fenian de-
monstration Of 20,000 persons was held
in Limerick on the LIST inst The object
was to secure the release of the prisoners
now in custody. The proceedings were
orderly, no disturbances having been
made. From France there is little of in
tcrest, except that the Emperor has de-
termined to issue general amnesty for
political offenders, and report of the
leading provisions proposed by the En-
peror for the new constitutional govern
ment. In Spain, the excitement regard
ing the Carlist instruction has been both
up and down, and the accounts are some
what eoGfieting-though the prevailing
opinion is that tho insurrection is at an
end, and that Don Carlos himself has left
the kingdom. The people appear diSpos-

the Committee on Taxes and Expenditures
may be summed up as follows:
The public taxes have not been. and are
not, justly laid. That there is an inc
quality and want of uniformity in the
valuation of property. That stock COM
panles do not contribute their proportion
to the expenses of the State, only resident
owners Of stock being taxed. The com
mittee recommend "to tax corporations di-
rectly, and not through their stockhol-
ders." They raise the question whether

yond their constitutional power. The re-
port was submitted by Jonathan Ross, for

RUINED BY PRosPERIrY.-NIost of our
readers will recollect that in 1866 an at
tempt was made to assassinate the En-
peror Alexander Of Russia, and that his
life was saved by man who struck up
the arm of tho would-be-assassin, just as
he was in the act of leveling pistol at
the Emperor. This man has just ended
his own life. He was working halter,
about 80 years of age. From the time
he thus signalized himself, honors contin-
ued to pour themselves upon him. He
was elevated to the nobility, was given
an entailed estate, with all its privileges,
was appointed Colonel of regiment of
the Imperial Guard, and received a ma
tional subscription of nearly 100000
roubles. Unable to bear his gddy ele-
walton, he became sot, nuisance to
himself and all around him, and finally
hung himself in drunken fit.

The Result in Tennessee.

The following from the New York
Times will correct some false impressions
as to the result of the recent election in
Tennessee.
The election Of Senter to the Governor
ship Of Tennessee takes no one by surprise.
Without any pretence to regularity of
nomination, he was known to be the orig
inal choice of majority of the members
Of the Republican Convention which was
roughly broken up by the friends of his
opponent. The active support given
him by Brownlow and other of the old
leaders of the Tennessee Unionists further
indicated the strength of his hold upon
the Republican Party, and the folly of
those who insisthd upon indentifying him
with the Democrats. His declarations in
favor Of restoring the franchise to those
whom local law had made politically
helpless, Of course secured him the votes
of the enfranchised Democrats. But
this circumstance did not make him
Democratic candidate, nor does it make
his election Democratic triumph. He
took the field as Republican; he declar-
ed himself, throughout the canvass, a COR
dial supporter Of President Grant and his
policy he rested the vindication of his
position in part upon its justice and in
part upon its agreement with the position
assumed by the Chicago Convention and
by more recent Republican organizations;
and he committed himself unequivocally
to the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment and the establishment of political
equality between white and black, What
more could be expected of him
The defeated candidate, Stokes. was
self-nominated. His only political pecu-
liarity,as compared with Senter, was the
advocacy of continued prescription, which
a majority of the leading Republicans, and
the more inhential Republican journals Of
the State, have deprecated as the fruitful
source Of mischief In all other respects,
politically, the two candidates were es-
setially identical. And personally there
was not much to choose between them.

The ASSUMPTION OF THE VIRGIN.-Itis is re-
ported from Rome that the forthcoming Ecu
mencial Council is to decree as one of its dog
mas the eOrpOreal assumption Of the Blessed
Virgin. This means that the Roman church
intends to accept as authentic and as an article
of faith the legend Of the death of the Virgin
Mary, which is in substance that, at an advanced
age, some say sixty years, others Seventy-fVe,
she was warned of her approaching death by an
angel from heaven that the Apostles were
miraculOusly transported, John from Ephesus,
Peter from Antioch, and the rest from other
distant places, to her bedside, and that the
Lord himself then appeared among them in
splendor, received his mothers expiring soul
and bore it to heaven.
Her lifeless body, which remained behind,
was tenderly caressed by pious women, who,
as they were about to disrObe it and wash the
flesh, suddenly beheld it caught away in the
cloud, out of their sight-in order las some say
that her comely and immortal limbs might
never be seen of sinful and mortal eyes. Or,
according to another version, her body like her
sons was laid three days in sepulchre, and
at the end of that time. at her son s sc1mmand,
was uplifted from earth to heaven, while the
vacated sepuchre was found strewn with lilies
by unseen and angelic hands. The translation
of the Virgins soul to heaven has for twelve
centuries been celebrated by the Roman Church
by solemn feast on the 18th day OF August,
| the traditional day of her death. 1t is now
said that the forthcoming council of the church
will make her corporal like her spiritual as
sumption dogma Of the Catholic faith.-Cin-
cin7adti Chronicle.

OLIVE LOGAN AT LONG BRANcH.--A cor
RESPONDENT of the New York World thus gos-
sins about Olive Logan, the female lecturer
and former actress De Cordova and Olive
take long walks together and try to make each
other sick with the funny things they get off.
De Cordova has great deal of pluck, but this
sort of thing is very trying to the nervous sys-
tenn. and I think he will have to give up. Olive
is getting handsomer and ruddier every day:
She gets up every morning at S clock, and
walks five miles before breakfast, all alone
After breakfast she puts on a brown linen suit,
and goes down to the beach to bathe in bloom
or costume. She is the best swimmer of her
sex so far; paddles, floats, treads water, dives,
swims backward, and scares the bathing mas
ter by going away out where the sharks are.
After the bath she puts on blue dress and
pIays billiards for two hours, to the astonish-
ment of the billiard marker, who swears he
never saw the like Then she puts ON q
gorgeous silk for dinner and after dinner
She goes out driving; and the way she
handles the ribbons is a caution to Grant. In
the evening she puts on a satin dress with q
long train, and all befurbelowed with red velvet
and yellow lace, and goes to some hotel where
there is a hop; and here she comes out strong.
er than in bath, billiards or bowling along the
avenue. At ii o'clock she comes home, puts
on a suit of brown merino and writes about

Kent County Teachers, Association

The members Of the Kent County Teachers
Association desire again to call the attention of
all interested in the cause of education, to the
fact that their semi-annual meeting will be held
10 Smyrna, oD the last Thursday in August
1869 commencing at PM.
The success that has attended these meet
lngs III the past, gives encouragement for their
continuance, and the importance of the cause
advocated renders it the duty Of every one who
can, to be present, and assist in the work. The
people of Smyrna, like those of other towns in
which meetings have been held, will entertain
those coming from distance, free of expense.
The utility Of these meetings is proved by the
fact that in those States in which education has
made most progress, they are held in the high
est estimation, and even considered lndispensa
BILE to the welfare of the cause.
| The following assignment OF topics to be dis
cussed at the next meeting has been made:
Is the introduction of prizes and merits into
schools as an incentive to study, judicious
G. Grumblng.
Should parents be compelled by law to senC
their children to school? A. Y. Eaton.
Why is not teaching a profession? j. III
Bechtel.
Is the system of education in our common
schools sufficiently practical? Rev. A. D
Davis.
Should pupils be compelled to study thei
lessons at home2 E. d. Tarr.
What advantage is there in uniformity o
text books? E. S. Edwards.
How many studies should an ordinary pup
have at one time? HI. j. Smith.
Class-dri in Grammar e. Grumbling.
Class-dril in Arithmetic. f. w. Gaylord
The discussions will be opened by the pei
sons named, after which all present will hav
an opportunity of expressing their sentiments
A part of the time, especially the evenings
will be devoted to lectures OF scientific an
literary character.
