PEA SOUP.-A pint and half of split
peas, two small onions, pepper and salt to
taste. Use three quarts of water and boil
from FIVE to six hours. Pork is often put
in, but it makes the soup far less wholesome.
If the water is hard, add piece of saleratus
not larger than a pea. Itwould be difficult
to find way in which the same amount of
nourishment could be obtained for four
times what this costs.-HearM and Home.

corrected, and another day was fixed for

Mr.. JACKSON, and Lows counsel. Mr..
JACKSON made some remarks dsparag.

saying that he had directed the Marshal to
spare Mr. Low the indguity of an arrest and
to simply tell him of tho complaint against
him. and ask him n come TO New York on
the day fixed for his examination. Low was
then scut for, and not only admitted having
endorsed the check in question with HALLS
name, but said he had done similar thing
with other pension checks. Mr.. PIERRE
FONT, on hearing NIL the facts, said that the
case must go before the Commissioner.
All hands then went before Commissioner
SHIELDS where Mr.. JACKSON argued Lows
side of the case, taking the ground that as
HALL had received all the proceeds Of tho
check, no crime had been committed. The
endorsement of HALLS name was, he said,
only a mistake, without any criminal intent.
Mr. JACKSON also called a man TO testify

We call upon Gov. HOFFMAN at once to

stands forth upon the private records of the

Once More unto the Breach

The Tammany Ring is making its last
struggle. Beaten at every point, II is now
cndeavoring TO keep things as they are. No
matter what it costs tho Democratic party,
the Ring desire TO maintain the Supervisors,
the Police Commission, the Excise Board,
AMI all the other odious violations of NUM-
cipal rights which Republican legislation
has imposed upon this luckess city. These
the Democratic party is pledged TO destroy
and these the Ring is now straining every
nerve 10 I'VE. Why? Because the Ring
makes money out of them.
Let not the Young Democracy be deceived
1t is vital matter for the party, and for the
new leaders who have undertaken TO make i
something noblcr than mere machine 10
make a few men enormously rich. If the
government of this city is not reformed, if
the Supervisors and the Commissions are not
abolished or radically changed, it is all up
with the Democratic party in the State, and

ofopinion among the trustees as to the manner in
which the money should be invested. The Massa-
chusetts gentlemen want IL put in railroad bonds.
Others desire to have It deposited with some
trust company that will be able to pay four per
cent interest. Others wish to have il invested in
six per cent. Government bonds. We should
suppose there would be no difficulty in making
suitable investment that would be sure to pay
seven per cent.

opportunities of being correctly informed on the

likely that man like DR RoDAs who has SO
frequently Of late proclaimed that the instruction
was all but dciunct, would take the trouble to
treat with any Of its morbund members.
Gen. De- RcpAs has probably gone TO Nucvitas

sibly with NALMAsEpA, as to the possibility Of in
augurating another campaign with any chance Of
success; and IN this surmise we are confirmed by
the termination Of the telegram, which states that
the traitor N,poLEoN AaASoo-who happened to

As TO any treating with the patriot forces, the
day is probably past for that and the rccollec-

been repeatedly rejected with scorn, and in some
instances with treacherous murders, by the
subordinatos Of Ds RopAs, will probably deter
him from offering so dangerous an opportunity

ings and property from sol to sos. If this bill
should pass the loyal people Of the country may
make up their minds to pay all tho losses that the
rebels had TO suffer from the beginning to the end
ofthc rebellion. The officers, managers, profess
sors, and students Of this Seminary were rebels,
and when Alexandria was occupied by the national
forces they went South The grounds and build
ings were deserted by their owners and occu-
pants, who were engaged in making war upon the
United states and being conveniently situated
for the purpose, they were taken by the military
authorities and used as hospital. If they had
been private property, the whole would have been
conhsca'cd and sold but belonging to q religious
corporation, tho Seminary was not condemned by
the courts, but was put TO q humane and reli-
