OBJECTIONS contained in the published memorial

next issue the following extract from the sime-
moral, ," which think every candid reader will
regard as sufficient antidote TO- the preiudicad

the magistracy altogether because one or two of

"a. ii is not pretended that the present ms

IS not inherent in the system, and therefore re-

limitation. The remedy for such evils when
found to exist, is provided by law; and we our

Governor Curtin

Much curiosity is felt concerning the
stand Governor CURTIN, of Pennsylvania
will take in the presidential campaign. He
has Just reached home, and he has beer
claimed by both the great parties. The 7ft'
bune of Monday has the following paragraph
on the subject:
"Governor Andrew G.. Curtin, who has
represented our Government for three and
a half years at St. PeterSburgh with the same
ability that gave him so enyiable fame
among our war Governors, reached horhc
again yesterday afternoon in somewhat i'm
paired health. The declarations in the Ad-
miniStration papers that he returns to take
the stump for the reelection Of President
Grant are entirely without warrant. He has
been bcset on all hands to this end. but to
none of the ENJOYS, not even to the Warwick
who went from Paris to London to entreat
him, did he give any authority whatever to
speak for him. When he has recovered Il lit
tie from the fatigues of the voyage and from
his present indisDoStion he will be found
abundantIy able to speak for himself; and it
is not likel y his hosts OF friends in Pennsyl-
yaria will see any reason for disappointment

(uRIosITlEs OF THE DE,D-LETTER OFrlcE.-
II is officially stated that three millions OF
lctters went TO the Dcad-Lcttcr Office last
year. and that they contained i sum exceed
ing three millions of dollars in money, drafts.
checks, dc. Nincty-two thousand dollars OF
this was in cash. 1t is estimated That Oh an
average every letter that goes into that office
loses IA dollar to some one. Fifty-ei ght thou
sand letters had no county or State direction,
four hundred thousand lacked stamps, and
three thousand were posted without any adj
dress ut all. What a commentary is this on
the Observation-Disclosures and va@lrics of our
population. Part Of the mistakes arise, no
doubt, from ignorance and from we;lk-mind-
cd persons, and Il good many from that mcn-
tai absorption characteristic of our intensely
active people. OF the four hundred thou
sand letters going to the Dead-Lettcr Office
for the want of stamps Il portion, probably,
were stamped, and Uncle Sans imperfect
clue would not stick. Curious romanceS
might be woven out of the lost letters. The
extraordinary facts thus officially reported
ought TO have the effect of making our pco-
pie more careful in stamping, addressing.
and mailing their letters.

fthe Imperial Conclave.

The three Emperors of Gernllny, Austria,
and Russia viii hold IL secret meeting in Ber-
lin on tile 9th Of September. The world re-
cards II with Interest, and there Is much
Speculation lis to the object which is at the
bottom of IT, 1t certainly closes the tomb of
the Holy Alliance of the FIVE p6wetss and
places the pence of Europe in new iia.ids
England cannot but regard it with troubled
feelings. She may not think that her peace
is less secure, but she cannot but read i'll il
the decline Of her influence in continental
politics.
1t Is plainly the interest of the three great
continental powers to be friends and to
shape politics to conserve their respective
interests; and there is no other European
power that they may now fear or feel called
upon to consult. 1t Is true that all alliances
and friendships among nations have in time
been broken, and those who were friends
have becUme enetuies. There is no such
thing as keeping faith amongst nations. The
three chat may become pledged allies on the
9Th of September &fil only continue 50 as long
as their interests remain favorable to friendly
relations. AT present it is very clear that
they may cooperate with advantage to all.
They can keep the peace on the Continent as
long as it pleases them, and should they de-
termine to drive the Turk out of Europe,
and cut up his possessions amongst them
selves, they can do it now without interior
enee from England and France.
The Imperial conference will be unques-
tionably selfish, but it may be, nevertheless,
conservative and favorable to Il long peace in
Europe. We can see no way in which war
is likely TO break out on the Continent I'M
less il be in the East with the Turk, and that
will not create any disturbance in the West.
The British Hon will remain in his den
licking his chops, and if he growls at all it
will be in very much suppressed tone. In
short, the meeting in September will be a
sign of the political times in Europe, and
will have that sort Of pOwerin it that will
Fepress all remonstrance, but at the same
timo have such a conservative aspect as not
to create alarm.

GREELEY must be tolerably fair candidate
from the number of lies that are manutlc.
tured about him. At the North they say he
is Democrat aud secessionist, and pledged
to pay the rebel debt. No less man than
Senator CHANDLER, Of New York, repeats
these assertions in public speech, upon
which the Tribune makes the hit that the old
maxim an uino reritaS is reversed. These
ialsehoods are only specimens; there are
others equally shameless.
The falsehoods trumped up in the South
are equally groundless with those we see at
the North. 1t really is quite to Mr.. GRIEF
LEY's credit that his enemies are driven to
this extensive system Of falsehood. Itshows
the poverty of solid objection TO the man.
