THE CITY HALL.

The agent of Charles Morgan had an in
terview with the Mayor yesterday. He
stated that the positive arrangement made
by Mr.. Morgan in reference to the transfer
Of the rights of the Mobile and Texas rail.
road were simply the securing of an inter
est in the Mobile road. Provided the titles
to property on the levee, held by the Mobile
Morgan would then extend the road to
Texas.
The opponents Of this ratification"
broadly assert that the Mobile road, as they
understand it. claims the 'entire river
'front.' and that for the Council to ratify
this grant would simply amount to q sur
render into the hands of the "New Orleans
and Mobile railroad people," or those who
hold under them, the steamboat and levee
interest, commercial dues and obligations
for all time to come. Hence they are clam
orous for delay.
The friends of the measure state this to
be an exaggeration, and that it is impossible
to get road to Texas without paying for it.
The whole clerical force of the Admins
traitors that can he spared are now making
out reports to the citizens committee. The
citizens called on Mayor Flanders yester-
day, and ascertained that with the excep-
ton Of taking the bonds of the license pay

before
City appropriation certificates were re-
ceived at par yes terday for the first time in
payment of licenses for 1872
From the general run of remarks made
by the various citizens committees who
have called at the City Hall, their object
appears to be the suggestion of amendments
to the city charter where they are required,
and the formation of some plan by which
the present financial condition Of the city
may be remedied. These suggestions will
be embodied and memorialized to the next
General Assembly. With the purpose Of
what improvements, if am
ire needed, these daily examinations re
made and the labor endured.

Young geptlemen-The exercises of TODAY
are now being brought to a close. 1t is un-
necessary that should consume your time
or tax your patience with a lengthy address.
In the fulfilfment of my duties 1 have on
former occasions. before the young ladies
and before you, exhausted my ideas upon
the hOnors of graduation and the excel
lences of popular education, in which the
rich and the poor, the high born and the
10wly are placed upon equal footing at the
shrine of knowledge. l will not attempt
to burden you with recapitulation of that
advice you have received at the hands of
kind and able professors From me no
moral lecture is expected; the occasion does
not require it; your advancement as
exhibited here to-day forbids it. Ex-
hlbitions of this character have often
been regarded as a happy reunion
Of friends. To me they were bur
denad with melancholy recollection: my
heart grew sick, my eyes moist as l realized
to a close. Your assurance, the language of
your professors, and the associations which
live in the very atmosphere Of this building,
come to me as proof that to you this part
ing will be a sad one. Remember that the |
diplomas you are about to receive are
pledges OF your worth and your ability. |
and that in the great school OF life upon !
whose threshold You stand you are expected !
to achieve as glorious triumph.
Diplomas were then handed to the class
composed of o. II. Bartlette, v. J. Oplatek

WOMAN,s RIGHTS

One of the papers says there is, in
Rochester, New York, woman who
takes her tods too frequently for the at
tention she owes her household. Nor
does she confne herself at home, but
goes out TO the dram.shops and gets
drunk Her husband notified the liquor
sellers that he would not pay her bar
bills, but they disregarded his notifca.
ton, furnished his wife what liquor she
wanted, and sued the husband. The
Court decided the husband is bound for
the wiies whisky bills, and he was COM
PEELED to pay. Therein the woman in
New York has the decided advantage
over the husband. She can forbid the
furnishing of liquor to her husband, and
can recover damages for disregarding
her order. Vice rersa don't work there
in such cases.

THE FORCE BILL.

The force bill expires at the end o
the next session Of Congress. 1t may
be re-enacted to operate on the Presi
dental election nextye Every South
ern State is in the Union, the peer Of
the States of the other sections Of the
country. And yet-Congress, upon hear
say testimony, frames and passes a
measure to operate exclusively upon the
Southern States. 1t proceeds upon no
evidence that the South is rebellions or
even disorderly, but upon reports of
hired assassins of its peace, establishes
a military police over it. A false as
sumption is followed by an act of pains
and penalties. Its instruments hunt
down citizens and carry them hundreds
of miles from their homes to be arraigned
before tribunals known to be unfriend-
" to them. The old State practice
of trying people in the county
where ofenses are committed, only
exists by permission Of Congress.
The State authorities are competent
to punish all crimes committed within
its jurisdiction. Ku-Kldxing an indi-
vidual is a crime against State laws,
which may be punished in State courts,
but Congress, in the force bill, assumes,
upon no evidence at all, that they will
not be on account of the rebellious dis
position Of the people. 1t is a SANDER,
and the centralized government at Wash
ington proceeds to construct its South
ern policy upon it. Here is a live
issue for the debaters of the hour
who are, like old Windham, prone
to overlook the main question and run
off on remote analogies. IL the De-
mocracy cannot overthrow the Radical
party with weapons drawn from the ar
senal Of its usurpations and corrup-
tons, then victory is hopeless. This
force bill is enough of itself to damn its
authors, but when their other sins are
piled upon their heads nothing but the
folly Of the Democratic party can rescue
them from destruction.

The jackson Clarion says: All over
the South the colored people are revolt
ing against the rule of the carpet-bag-
gers-haying experienced that they are
an INSCRIPTIONS and selfish brood of
harpies whose entire conduct proves the
accuracy of Mr.. Greeley's description.
In the organization of their club here in
jackson they repudiated the leadership
of the carpet-bag tribe, persistently re-
fusing to take step except upon condi-
ton that they were to take back seats.
The colored element has not only learned
the tricks of the imported scum, but it
has also learned its own strength.

ENGLAND.


LIVERPOOL, July 26. The police
authorities yesterday afternoon. made a
Seizure of large quantity Of arms
which had arriyed'in this city destined
for Fenian purposes. 1t is conjectured
that it was the intention of the agents
of the brotherhood to ship the arms to
some point in Ireland at the earliest OPP
portunity The authorities are now thor
oughly on the alert, and large force of
detectives have been stationed at the va
rious suspected places in the city, and
at the wharves, to prevent the possibility
of any shipments of arms or suspected
goods taking place. II is thought the
Fenian agents have already succeeded
in shipping large quantities Of arms and
ammunition without discovery, and that
they are contemplating movement on
larger scale than ever
Advices received from Persia received
in this city convey information of the
rapid and alarming spread of the plague
in that country The utmost efforts of
the government to enforce the sanitary
measures have proved unavailing and
the plagueis extending with rapid strides
in both Eastern and Western Persia.
The inhabitants are reduced to the
last extremity by the protracted famine,
and fall easy victims. The scenes pre-
scented in some of the more populous
cities are reported to be fearful.
The Turkish government, apprehen-
sive of the transmission of cholera
across the frontier of Asiatic Turkey,
has established a rigid sanitary Gordon
along the whole line.
Frank Matthews, the well known
actor, is dead.
A dispatch from Hong Kong of the
25th states that serious disturbances
have broken out in Canton. The Chi
nese authorities are either unable or
to interfere for the preserva-
ton of peace.
The foreigners in Canton are said to
be in imminent danger, and it is not
that the bloody scenes which
accompanied the last disturbance may
be repeated, if Intervention in the inte-
rest of order does not speedily take
place. A gunboat has been dispatched
up the Canton river to the city, and will
give its protection to foreigners who may
reside in the city.
The Russian Postal Department re-
uses to accept packages containing val
iables for transmission to China, as it
considers a revolution impending.

Bancroft deserves honorable mention
as the author of one of the happiest
witticisms ever gotten off at the bar.
1t happened in this wise: A young gem
tleman of good family had married a
woman of the town, been deserted by
his friends, and almost ruined in fortune
by the extravaganza of his wife. At
last he mustered courage to defend an
action for goods furnished her at an
enormous price. Erskine was his coun-
sci, and made the wife's previous char
acter ground of appeal to the jury.
He praised the amiable feelings of the
husband, who had sought to restore his
wife to the path of virtue, and inveighed
against her base ingratitude, to which
the plaintiff had lent himself For
her he gave up his family and sacrificed
all his connections" When Bancroft
came to reply he treated Erskine's eulo-
GUM of his clients virtue and the de-
merits of his wife as mere burlesque.
My friend reproaches his clients wife
with forgetfulness of the deed of graft
tude which she owes to him, that for her
he had given up all his connections; but
the balance of obligation will be found
on her side---for him she gave up all
mankind"
