Early Fall Fashions.
CAMEO FABLES.

Among the many very elegant dresses
imported this season are exquisite soft
silks, known to mantua-makers as fditLeS.
They have heavy reps, and yet are not
in the least stiff, and these delicate fabrics
come in sections or shades, three to every
color, and all the coors SO dainty, so sub
dued, that there Is nothing IN the least
caudy even in the blues and green's. For
several years all the bright hues were so
exceedingly bright that no well-dresse6
woman would wear them on the street /;
and black became, in consequence, the
most stylish wear for walklng-dresses.
Now, however, line Of goods IS offered of
such unobtrHsive tints that most beauti-
ful promenade costumes can be formed
from them

Decidedly the fall fashion for costumes
is the PoIo-aise, and this has assumed
quite new form 1t does not sit quite
tIgnt to the figure On the front the shoul
ders and bust are fitted perfectly, and the
waist is Just outlined, but the seams do not
keep qu5te close to the form. thus prevent
ing that ridge which " Il always fold in
at the point where corsage and skirt meet.
The back presents a very antique style
revived There is a seam down the mid
die as well rs two side-pieees. and these
three seams are stiffened with whalebone
and continued to the extreme point of the
pauner where the fulness of the skirts
Is suddenly thrown out in TWO deep plaits,
and then caught up and punched in with
two large bows The PoIopaise Is made
quite long, and also looped at the sides, so
that the front breadth falls in deep folds
There IS something very novel and strik
ing in the form OF this garment and we
shall ere long, doubtless, see our eleganteS
disporting themselves on Fifth avenue in
this singular revival of very antique
mode

BONNETS.

When gazing on the new importations in
bonnets I could not but wonder who would
have the audaeity first to wear one OF
these extraordinary structures, the style
differs 80 decidedly from any heretofore
worn. The crown Is high and square, the
front very faring, and there is somewhat
of cape at the bac1, altogether much
larger head-coverjng than has appeared in
several years. One Marie Antoinette op-
era hat was of a sort of faded saffron col
ored silk, the crown high and pufed, the
front Aaring with a heavy white ruche in
side, the trimming Of bias bands of peach
colored plush. Another more civilized
looking head-gear was of black velvet, the
frame perfectly round, having fall of
black lace all about It like a round haiti
crown high, with bias bands Of velvet and
satin. and two blue feathers at the side.

\ correspondent of the Albany J01unQl
tells the following big story about what
two OF hs friends said they saw one day
" They saw wasp riding on a green worm
one and a half inches long. How. far be
had ridden they did not know, but after
they saw him they watched him until be
had ridden twenty-five feet. Occasionally
the worm would stop, lie motionless as
though he was dead, when the wasp, after
a while, would spur MIN up, and then the
worm would 20 on The wasp kept the
worm in as direct curse as he could.
After while the worm stopped and the
wasp dismounted and ran quickly and re
moved d little stone or piece Of ground
about two inches from where the worm
lay. ami then seizing the worm by the head
drew it into the hole. Presently the wasp
came out, put on the gravel top over the
hole, covered the stone over, and seemed to
be ready to fly, when they killed him and
dug down abouttwo inches and took out the

made prisoner of the bailiff and brought
him before his worship. An Introduction

that the action of the caucus was inspired
from the White House. Indeed there is no
doubt upon this point, for Senator Chandler
expressly said that the President had given it
as his opinion that it would be better to post
pone amnesty for the present. The principal
argument against ii was advanced by Mr..
Morton, who contended that the passage Of an
amnesty bill at this time would look like an
apology for the Ku-klux bill, which it may be
opined is the Presidents view of the matter.
The caucus indicated that there is strong
party in the Senate favorable to general
amnesty, and if the President had welded
his influence in that direction, we do not
doubt that the bill would have been taken up
and passed by a large maj ority without further
delay. What the Presidents real reasons are
for opposing the amnesty bill at this time we
are unable clearly to understand, and while
we do not doubt that he is animated by
desire to do his duty, we believe that he has
made great personal as well as political mis-
take. A liberal amnesty measure is demanded
at the present time for the purpose of pacify-
ing the South and of neutralizing some of the
influences of the Ku-klux bill. 1t is true
that some persons in the South would
consider it an apology for the
Ku-klux bill, but large majority
of the most influential classes would have ac-
cepted it at its real value, as an indication of
an earnest desire on the part of the Govern
ment to complete the work of reconstruction
in manner satisfactory to the people of the
South, snd to obliterate as far as possible the
bad feelings engendered by the war. 1t would
have prevented the intelligent and educated
classes of the South from esteeming the Ku-
klux bill as mere repressive political mea-
sure aimed at them with view OF preventing
them from acting against the Republican
party; and so far from interfering with
the operations of the Ku-klux bill,
it would have made it easier to enforce it,
So far as the President himself is concerned,
an earnest advocacy of general amnesty
measure would have certainly increased his
popularity in the South, and, we believe, in
the North also, and would have greatly
smoothed the way for his reelection. 1t is
scarcely possible that the President has not
been able to see the matter in this light, and
his present course may therefore be oonsi-
dered as a proof of his disinterestedness.
Although disinterested, he is none the less
mistaken; and while the passage of the Ku-
klux bill is of doubtful expediency under any
circumstances, it will be a blunder of the
most serious character unless it is accom-
panied by general amnesty.

4 BAD PIECE OF BUNKUM.

GENERAL BUgLER yesterday introduced a
joint resolution in the House of Representa-
tives, requesting the President to cause to be
submitted to the Joint High Commission the
claims of American citizens for DANA ges and
losses suffered on account of imprisonment,
without due process of law or trial, in British
prisons for supposed completely with the
Fenian cause in Ireland. AS bosh or bunkum
this resolution reflects credit upon the inven-
tive genius of its author. It will probably
serve to give him several Irish votes
in his next canvass for Congress, and In some
contingencies it may even help to make him
an available candidate for higher posi-
tion. But nobody knows better than Gene
raj Butler that his resolution is at once ridicu-
lous and mischievous- ridiculous, because it
is folly to ask foreign nation to pay damages
to men who have become implicated in rebel
ious movements; and mischievous, because
the serious presentation of such a demand
would exercise deleterious influence at a
time when there is a reasonable prospect that
the Joint High Commission may devise a
method of settling all disputed questions of
real importance which are pending between
the United States and Great Britain.

THE FINE ARTS.


Prang's ChrOmOs.
Messrs James e. Earle & Sons have recently re-
ceived two very pleasing specimens OF the work or
the well-known chrome publishers L. Prang & Co,
which are worthy of the attention OF art lovers.
One OF these is copy fran picture by Mr.. James
M. Hart OF New York, and is entitled The Storm is
Coming" 1t represents a group OF cattle in a
meadow preparing to seek shelter from a coming
storm, which blackens the sky in the distance. The
foreground is Illuminated by ray OF sunlight, and
the contrast Of light and shade is at effective in
treatment and poetical in sentiment. Mr. Hart is
one Of the most poetical OF landscape painters
and this picture, which has been admirably repro
duced in the chromo is an excellent specimen of
his style. The chrome itself OF the best that
Messrs. Prang a. Co. have yet issued. and 1t will
make handsome ornament to any parior wall.
Another interesting chrome is a memorial Of
Charles Dickens, fac-simile OF whose autograph
is surrounded by holy-leaves, winter berries, and
ferns ntertwned with the motto, ''Lord, Keep My
Memory Green" This work will be appreciated by
the dmirers Of the great novelist.

HON. A. G. OATTELL.

THE correspondence between Hon. A. G.
Cattell, of New Jersey, and number of gen.
tlemen representing some of the most i'm
portant business interests of Philadelphia,
which will be found on our third page, will
be read with interest. Mr.. Cattell, on the
plea of il-health, declines a complimentary
banquet rendered to him as an expression of
appreciation and goodwill for his earnest
and able advocacy of judicious legislation
during his Senatorial career, as well as per-
sonal regard. Mr.. Cattell deserved such a
compliment as this, in addition to that ex-
tended to him in the resolution Of Councils
passed some weeks ago, for there was no
more faithful advocate of the interests of
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania in Congress,
and it was largely due to his exertions that
the League Island appropriation was passed,
which will enable the work of
preparing that place for the
purposes of great naval depot to be COM
menced. AS Mr.. Oattell states in his letter,
the interests of Pennsylvania and New Jersey
are in many particulars identical, and that
in the establishment of a national naval
depot at League Island his own constituents
will be Immediately benefited, so that while
he has labored for the good Of Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania, he has not neglected New
Jersey. Independently of the League Island
appropriation and other matters of immediate
interest to Philadelphians, the Senatorial
career of MIR. Cattel was so entirely creditable
to him, that it is matter for serious regret
that he was compelled to decline reelection
and to withdraw from public life. Pure
minded, able, and disinterested men like the
New Jersey ex-senator are not SO abundant
in our national councils that we can afford
to lose them, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that the retirement of Mr.. Cattell will be
beneficial to his health, and that with rest
from public cares will come complete restora.

TUESDAY, APRIL 1s, 1871.

PHILADELPHIA MANUFA OTURES.
WE published some weeks ago an official state
ment from the census of 1870, giving an ex-
hibit of the manufactures Of the city of Phila-
delphia, it being synopsis furnished to Hon.
William d. Kelley by the Superintendent of
the Census. The aggregates furnished in
this exhibit, although large, disappointed
public expectation; and we learn that an in
spection of the lists by parties familiar with
the industrial interests of the city
demonstrates the fact that they
are grossly and deplorably in
perfect. Hundreds of manufacturing esta-
blishments in this city we're not reported at
all in the original return; some of the most i'm
portant-J B. Lippincott & Go. 8 publishing
house, s. s.. Whites mandatory of materials
used by dentists, and Bailey & Co.'s jewelry
establishment, for instance-being entirely
omitted. Marshal Gregory and his negli-
gent and grossly inefficient depu-
ties displayed even greater carelessness
in making up their returns of the manufac-
lures of Philadelphia than in their returns of
the population of this city. While we have
been pluming ourselves upon the wonderful
extent and variety of our manufacturing in
dustries, the census takers have been more
careless here in their collection of manufac-
turing statistics than in any portion of the
United States. We understand that steps
have been taken to correct the grossly inac-
curate returns originally sent to the National
Superintendent of the Census, and we trust
that approximate justice will still be done. But
Philadelphia will necessarily suffer to some
extent in reputation through the inaccuracies
and negligence of the assistant marshals. and
the inability or indisposition of Marshal Gre
CORY to properly perform the duty with which
he was intrusted. If he had been familiar
with the industries of Philadelphia, or if he
had been desirous of presenting them fairly
and fully to the world, he would never have
sent to Washington the shamefully imperfect
original returns of the manufactures of Phila-
delphia which are libel on the word statis-
tics, and which, instead of enlightening Con-
gress and the country, only tend to mislead,
and to place this city in false position.

COLONEL ". r. FORBES.

WE have received from former employe in
in the pension agency, presided over by
Colonel w. T. Forbes defense of that gen.
tleman, which is very satisfactory SO far as it
goes. The trouble is, however, that it does
not 60 far enough, but stops short just where
real defense, if any were possible, ought to
begin. Our correspondent bears
testimony to the affable and
polite department of Colonel Forbes and in
forms us that, more than any other agent in
the country, past or present, he has simpli-
fed and expedited the payment of pensions,
with saving of from $5 to $12 per annum
to the pensioners; that he has rescued PEN
sioners from the hands Of agents, and lawyers,
and country justices who extorted dollars
where cents were only due for collecting pen
sions; that he has been instrumental in intro
ducing great and good improvements in the
method of the payment of pensions, and that
in various ways he has acted in the interests
of both the Government and the pensioners.
In conclusion, our correspondent remarks that
Gas to the great scandal against Colonel
Forbes, in the trial of his clerk for embez-
zling, there are two opinions, and that much
could be said" AS this new defender of
Colonel Forbes, however, refrains from
saying anything upon the most i'm
portant point of all, we are forced
to rely exclusively upon the evidence
already in our possession, and this is not
favorable to either Colonel Forbes or the
retiring Commissioner of Pensions, DIR. Van
Aernam. That the clerk alluded to was
guilty we do not doubt, but we do not doubt
either that he was made the scapegoat for the
sins of his official superiors. Colonel Forbes
has admitted that he loaned money to
pensioners upon their claims at usurious
rates, and the evidence upon the trial of
the clerk aforesaid demonstrated that this
and other illegal practices were common
occurrences in the Office, and that it was i'm
possible that Colonel Forbes could be the
injured innocent his friends would represent
him. We repeat now what we said on Satur-
day, that the conduct of Colonel Forbes was
whitewashed by DR.. Van Aernam, who was
in possession of evidence against him that
would have ensured his prompt removal if
the Pension Bureau itself had not been COR
rupt. In fact, so notorious had the
whole pension agency system become that
Congress, in spite of the pressure brought to
bear by the Pension Bureau ''ring, was COM
PEELED to make some attempt at reform and
to surround the pensioners with greater safe
guards, and we are confident that the Forbes
scandal had as much to do with causing this at
tempt at reform as any other influence In
this rather back-handed way, it is true that
Colonel Forbes may have been instrumental
in beneftting the pensioners; but we are un-
able for that reason to understand why he
should not have been turned out of Office
long ago, or why the new Commissioner of
Pensions should not do his obvious duty in
the matter, and appoint an agent who is
above reproach to succeed him.

TIE AMNESPY BILL.

The question of general amnesty may be con-
sidered settled SO far as the present session
of Congress is concerned, the Republican
Senators havingS at caucus held yesterday,
determined not to take it up. The chief
opponents of the bill were Senators Chan
dler, Morton, Scott, and Edmunds, and as
these gentlemen are the Presidents chief
Senatorial hackers, it is not unfair to presume
