New YORK, June 2O.-A letter from
Rio Janerio states that Don Antonio Da
Costa, Bishop of Pava, arrived there
May 18th and was Immediately formally
arrested upon a warrant Of the Supreme
Tribunal Of Justice and taken to the
arsenal Of the marines to an apartment
previously occupied under the same cir
cumstances by the Bishop of Olinda.
A number Of ultramarine gentlemen and
the clergy got up little scene by cast
ing themselves on their knees in the dust
to kiss his hand. His arrival as pris-
oner has created very trifng interest and
was hardly noticed outside Of these cir
eles. The government has not yet made
any statement in reference to its future
course IN the ecclesiastical question.
IL has, however, taken the registration
Of births, marriages and deaths from the
priests and handed it over to justices Of
the peace, who are elective judges.
This measure will be serious blow to
clerical emoluments and influence. but
will permit completeness in the records.

Heavy Loss i'm Coffee Importation
Alarming Spread of Ruerperal
Fever.
New YORK, June 2O.-Gold and foreign
exchange have risen from seven to eight
per cent. within one month, chiefly
caused from the almost complete stop
page of shipment Of coffee, owing to the
great falls which have occurred in prices
abroad. The enormous fall in the price
Of coffee caused very severe losses
among shippers, the fall amounting to
FIVE dollars per bag in many shipments.
The association of planters-gotten up
TO protect themselves from the middle
men, they being unwilling to pay the
latter's prices-shipped very largely just
before the news, and four OF their
$4,000 capital is lost, greatly to the
delight of sackers and exporters. The
sugar industry can hardly struggle
along. Slaves in Brazil have decreased
fifty per cent. since 1850, when the slave
trade was completely stopped. Inc
registration of slaves last year gave the
number at l,Ol6,262.
Owing to the alarming spread Of
puerperal fever in Bellevue Hospital,
persons exposed to the disease have
been removed from the infected wards,
and the patients have been transferred
to an isolated building on Wards
Island. OF fourteen persons last at
tackled by the disease ten have died.
Floors and ceilings of rooms formerly
occupied by patients are to be removed
and the walls thoroughly scraped.

valued and influential State exchanges,
the Nashville Banner and Union

libel, damages being claimed against the
former for $4,000, and the latter being

ness, we regret to see such dissensionl
in the press. We take no sides, and
have no idea who is right or wrong
Such things weaken the power Of tn
press by calling public attention to a
improbable controversy, while th
great objects for which the pres

TENNESSEE ORATORY.

II was bound to come. We knew II
weeks ago. Congress has set time to
adjourn. but with a distinct understand
inc that the time would be extended, it
necessary, to give any Tennessee orator
and statesman an opportunity to make
a speech upon any subject he might Sc
Iect. They have nearly all been heard
from, and Congress will, in ell proba-
bility, adjourn at the time set, Mr..
Barbour Lewis has delivered very we'll
written speech upon bill to appoint a
commission of engineers to investigate
and report a permanent plan for re-
claiming the alluvial lands of the Mis-
sissippi delta, or something to that effect.
An appropriation of $4,000 was asked.
We do not know whether the bill passed
or not. That, however, is not the point
under consideration. The speech has
been made, and it reads well.
Mr.. Lewis is a good scholar, q well
read man, and capable of handling
any subject he may investigate.
The nation is under lasting obligations
10 the LEDGER for bringing out these
splendid specimens of Tennessee elo-
Ouence. Since the war very few Con-
gressmen from this State have ventured
to raise their voices at the national cap
ital. Most of them have been oyerawed
at the impressiveness Of the surround
ings and the sublime novelty of walking
about the rotundas and sitting unmo-
lesetd in the seats Of departed greatness,
and many of them have been occupied
in propounding to themselves the I'M
answerable question, How the d.
came heref' Some months ago the
LEDGER alluded to the dearth of Ten
nessee eloquence in Congress, and the
article was extensively copied. Be-
sides our intelligent members nearly
all read the LEDGER, and doubt
less with great profit. They took the
hint instantly, and in less than three
weeks one of them was able to get of q
very fair effort, greatly TO the surprise OF
his rural constituents, who declared that
they never would have believed man
could come out So The only regret we
have, and perhaps an apology is due the
public, is, that there is great danger of
his reelection on the strength Of that
speech, inspired by the LEDGER's criti-
cism. The example was contagious,
and since then the mails have been
flooded with ornate specimens of what
our Congressman can.do when they have
a mind to. There is no longer any com
plant that our representatives do not
make themselves heard at Washington.
1t seems that they have been favored
by the chair and allowed to speak when
ever prepared, until the country has
almost concluded that all the speaking
men of Tennessee are congregated at
Washington. This thing has gone fur
Their than we could have expected, and
there is no telling where it will end
We hope, therefore, Congress will ad-
journ at once that we may feel relieved
OF any more responsibility in the matter.
