rv The Rev. O. B. Frothingham, III

rr The Rev. O. B. rockingham, the
" Friar Tuck who solcmnized the mar
rage of Mrs Mcfarland and Richard
son, is reported to have spoken as fol
lows in his sermon on Easter Sunday, in
regard to marriage:
"The laws Of matrimony should be so
remodeled that the husband and iwfc
could not be jealous of one another-so
that the bond should not be merely le-
gal one, but that condition Of marriage
should be permission to each TO act as
he or she thought proper, and at the die
tates of the feelings and affections"
And this creature has what he calls " a
church," and breaches to people on the
Sabbath What sort of a congregation
listens to such man, can be easily inn
agined.

SALOON LIcExsEs.-W referred short
time since to the fact of our City Author
tiles reducing the licenses on Dram Shops
1t was claimed that the sum of one hun
dred dollars a year was exorbitant and
an extortion. The following is from the
Little Rock Republican of late date,
from which it may be seen what saloons
have to pay for licenses in that city. The
amount assessed by this city is but drop
in comparison;
"The amount Of money paid annually
for licenses and house room to sell whis-
ky in, is positively astonishing. Let us
see. There are twenty-five groceries in
Little Rock, each Of which pay $40 per
month for license, making the sum of
ten thousand fve hundred and siety dollars
Then they pay an average of 800 per
month for house rent, making eleven thou
sand dollars Then these groceries pay
the United States S25 each per annum for
license, making $3.50. Then again they
pay the county $50 each, for license,
Sl,l00 Then there are eight wholesale
liquor houses, each Of which pay the Uni
ted States 500 per annum for license,
making $500; each Of which will pay an
average of S75 house rent, per month,
making $1,000. Add all OF this together
and you will find that the city of Little
Rock pays, for house room in which to
keep and license to sell this poisous drug,
the sum Of thirty thousand, one hundred
and ten doUars."

ES- A clergyman, while vending his
way to church one Sunday morning,
caught sight Of the two sons Of one OF
his parishioners going into the woods,
evidently for the purpose Of hunting.
Feeling certain that anything like direct
remonstrance with the young gentlemen
themselves would scarcely turn them
from their ways. he waited until after
preaching, and sought the old gentleman,
their father. After recounting the cir
cumstancc of meeting Billy and Sammy
as he had done, he closed the appeal by
inquiring why they had not been brought
up in the fear of the Lord2 "Fear of
the Lord, parson, fear ofthe Lord Why
they hey! They're so feared Of Him
now they dursn't go out on Sunday with
out double barrd shot guns on their
shoulders"

EF- Early last week, near midnight
we were disturbed in our sleep, by a rov
ing disconsolate, singing under our win
dow in a doleful strain the following
ode"
The bull dog barks on the top Of the hill
And the lambs are skipping in glee;
But I'm sad as the dickens-I am
My gal gave the mitten to me.
All, where viii 60, and what will do?
l feel like crazy bum-bee;
By thunder, I'll fight! I'll lick any boy
That says the word mitten to me! ..rs
I'm really mad-be logged If amt
swear will kill any she;
I'll slather and slash-I'll murder that gal
BY thunder! she shan't mitten me!
No, l won't do that--I'll spite her--I will
III hang myselfon a big tree;
And then she will cry--shell die in remorsc
For giving the mitten to me.

FENlAN MOVEMENTS.

NEW DIRK, May 10.
~ PENiAN MOVEMENTS.
Many rumors are afoat this morning
regarding the departure from this city for
various routes Northward and to the
West of parties of men supposed to be
Fenians. Undoubtedly, from the best
authority that can be obtained, several
hundred men connected with the Fenian
organization have left the city on the
war path within the last 4S hours.
ONWARD TO CUBA.
An expedition Of 200 men, all Cubans
except five American captains, left here
en- route for Cuba early Saturday morn
ing They are passengers on steamer
bound to San Domingo. They carried
1000 rifles, six large guns, uniforms,
equipments, powder, etc.
Ho! FOR CANADA.
Gen. ONeil and other Fenian leaders
start tonight for the West 1t is init
mated that move on Canada will be
made from Detroit or Chicago, and then
an attempt will be made to cut off the ex-
petition that is moving toward Red river.
WASHINGTON. May II.
Reconstruction committee agreed to
report a bill readmitting the State of
Georgia on terms precisely like those ap-
piled to Virginia, Mississippi and Texas,
with addition that four States named are
allowed to organize, arm and call in ser
vice their respective militia forces.
The Committee of Ways and Means
postponed the funding bill until next
Tuesday.
THE RADICAL CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS.
At the joint caucus Of the Republicans
of the Senate and House tonight, Mr..
Hamlin was chosen chairman and Cessna
and Ferry of Michigan, secretaries. The
object was to provide for the reorganiza
ton of the usual congressional campaign
committee. 1t was agreed that each dele
CATION should choose one member within
a week, and these should then meet and
select an executive committee.
Roots introduced bill incorporating
the Texas Pacific Railroad Company and
the land grants thereto. Referred
SENATE-Mr. Cameron on presenting
a memorial for the general abolition of
taxation on productions, spoke in favor
of substitution of external for internal
taxes and above all the abolition of the
income tax.
Mr.. Ferry proposed a modification Of
his amendment which prevents any fur
ther political disabilities than now exist.
He then replied to Morton's remarks of
yesterday, denying the right of that Sena
tor to force his own opinions on the
South, and assume to make them the en-
bodiment of the views of the whole I'm
ion party South and Republican party
North. He denied the existence of any
rebellious state of affairs in the South,
and asserted that the Republican party
North were in favor Of the removal of
political disabilities.
Mr.. Morton replied at length to the ar
gument Of Ferry.
Further debate ensued, participated in
by Johnson, Sawyer, Drake, Cameron
and Revcls. During the discussion it
was proposed to take up the House bill
on the subject which had been received
from that body, but objection was made
on the ground that the pending bill had
been carefully maturcd by the judiciary
committee while the House bill was de-
fective. At 5 o'clock, after short exec
utive session, the Senate adjourned.

Total vote of the city yesterday was
for Church SO, ,101; Selden 22,lS6.
Brooklyn gives about 5000 Democrat
ic majority on the State ticket and elects
a Democratic city ticket by between g..
600 and 1000. H'
Buffalo gives Church 1,194 majority,
and Toy l,76l The indications are
that the Democratic majority in the State
will exceed 10000 The total vote is
comparatively light
TIE PRESS ON Tue RESULT.
The WorlH of this morning says: The
judiciary election in the State yesterday
resulted in an overwhelming Democratic
triumph The gains of the democracy
are uniform from all parts of the State
and the country returns are especially
gratifying The estimated majority for
Church, Democrat, for Chief Judge in the
State is $4,000 The Democratic major
ity in this city is 6O,000 All the Demo
cratic candidates for judges of Common
Pleas and Marine Courts, together with
those for Aldermen and assistant Alder
men, are elected in Brooklyn. The regu.
lar Democratic ticket for city Judges is
successful over the coalition ticket. The
election passed off very quietly. Negroes
voted without molestation except in one
or two isolated cases in the lower wards,
Several negroes were arrested for repeat
ing.
At meeting Of the United States In
dian Commission to-day, letters were
read from Secretary Cox indorsng their
policy, and from General Sherman dis
approving such movements, and saying
the real question could only be discussed
where Indians are, and if they would ad-
journ to Fort Sully or Fort Rice he
would be strongly inclined to attend the
meeting The letter occasioned much
indignation, being regarded as sneer at
the commission. A committee was ap-
pointed to prepare specific plans of treat
mcnt of the Indian question tor presenta'
ton to Congress.

was Talleyrand a Prophet ?

e +
The first Napoleon was scarcely less
skilled as politician than as warrior,
but he was outdone in political force by
his Prime Minister, Talleyrand, the ex-
Bishop of AUTH. Napoleon left on re-
cord his prediction that in fifty years
Europe would be either Republican or
Cossack; and to-day it is further from
being either, than it was then. But Tai
leyrand's prediction, uttered many years
ago and recorded in his memoirs, has come
exactly true Said he to his brother di-
plomatists
We must not delude ourselves; the Eu'
ropean equilibrium, of which we laid the
foundation at the Congress of Vienna, will
not be eternal. Some day it will tumble
but it promises US some years OF peace
What threatens to break it up at period
more or less distant, are the aspirations
which are becoming universal in the cen
ter Of Germany. The necessities of de
Tense and of common danger have pre-
pared their minds for German unity
This idea will continue to develop, anc
some day one of the great powers which
form part of the confederation will form
the desire to realize this unity for its owl
profit. Austria is not to be feared; being
composed of scraps and morsels, and hav
ing no unity at home, she cannot dream
of exporting it abroad. 1t is Prussia
then, that should be watched. She viii
try the venture; and if she succeeds
then all the conditions of the balance o
power viii be changed, and it will be ne
cessary to seek for Europe new basi
and new organization.
Having examined the more or less diff
foult circumstances amid which this re
construction will be effected M. Talley
rand indicates France as being the nation
most interested in combating the unitica
ton movement, or in seeking to be com
pensated for it. All this reads as j
written after the facts instead of many
years before them.
