The Confederate Funds.

1t has doubtless been the subject uf
much speculation TO more than one
what became of the Confederate
treasury when Lee surrendered. A
Confederate soldier writing from
Georgia tells US. After sending some
thousands to Augusta, Ca. for the
relief of the sick and wounded, about
100000 remained. The President
and his Cabinet in consultation near
the Savannah river agreed to divide
this sum among the troops still will
ing to follow the fortunes of the Con-
federacy; each officer and soldier re-
eeived $2825 in gold and silver. The
Virginia bank funds, amounting to
about 100000, were turned over 10
its officers, who deposited them at
Washington, Ca, for safe keeping.
After the rebellion had entirely SUBJ
sided, the bank officers asked permits
sion of the Federal authority TO be
allowed to take the funds back 10
Virginia. The first stop was made
at a widows house. where the $780,
900 had been divided. Here they
were attacked by fifteen Confeder.
ate sol iiers, who were returning
home each with his $28 %. The
men demar ded a surrender of the
100000, claiming that they were
Confederate funds. There was no
resistance; the bank officers departed,
and the fifteen broke open the kegs
and boxes containing the specie, pass
ed over the silver, possessed them
selves of the gold, and departed like
wise. MiiWdukee Wisconsin.

Constitutional Provisions.

The members of the Constitutional
Convention of Madison are taking
decided reformatory steps indeed.
1t is proposed that hereafter all mem
bers of the legislature, before assum-
ing the duties Of legislator, take the
following iron-clad oath:
"That they have not KNOWN ely or
Intentionally paid or contributed any
thing, or made any promise, in the
nature of bribe, to influence any
vote at the election at which they
were chosen to fill said offices that
they have not accepted and will not
accept or receive, directly or Indirect
ly. any money or other valuable
thing from any person, corporation
or company, on account of any vote
they may give on any bill, resolution
or appropriation, or for any other Of
fetal act i; and providing that any
member refusing TO take such oath
shall forfeit his office, and every
member convicted of having sworn
falsely to or violating such oath shall
forfeit his office, and be disqualified
thereafter from holding any Office of
profit or trust"
Missouri evidently has little love
for her average politician, and as lit
tie, we judge, of her ministers, if the
following proposed section is adopted
as part of the Constitution of that
State:
"That every gift, sale or device of
land to any priest, preacher, minister
or teacher. or to any religious sect,
order or denomination, or to or for
the support, use or benefit of, or in
trust for any minister, public teacher
or minister of the pospel, as such, or
any religious order, sect or denomin-
alton and every gift or sale of goods
or chattels, to go in succession, or
take effect after the death of the
donor. or seller, to or for such use,
support or benefit; and also, every
devise of goods or chattels to or for
the support of any minister, public
teacher or preacher Of the gospel, or
any religious sect or denomination,
shall be void"

Prohibition in Michigan.

The Michigan Legislature abandon.
ed prohibition before its final adjourn
ment, and radical change has been
introduced in dealing with the liquor
question. The amended constitution
of that State fortids licensing, but
under a recent decision of the Su-
preme court on the subject, the law
makers thought that system of tax
alton could be adopted that would
prove valid. Under the new law,
made for the purpose of trying this
taxation scheme, retailers of strong
liquor are to pay one hundred and
fifty dollars annually, beer sellers for
ty dollars, and wholesalers and manu-
facturers from fifty to three hundred
dollars per annum, according to the
extent of their business. The Legis-
lature, also, submitted an amendment
to the constitution to be voted on by
the people in the Fall of next year,
giving the Legislature entire control
of the liquor traffic.
This is another illustration of the
impotency of statute laws and consti-
tutional provisions to promote tenn
perance. For twenty years prohibit
tory legislation has been tried in
Michigan. It's population is doubt
less as favorably disposed to support
such law as that of any State in the
Union. But after this long and per.
sistant trial, it is now confessed that
it has proved failure. 1t has not
checked the sales of intoxicating
drinks, and it again shows that, after
all, moral, social and personal infu-
ences are the means that must be re-
lied upon to turn back the tide of in
temperance.
AS complement to this tax law, a
measure has been enacted, forbid
ding and furnishing the sale of liquor
to minors, drunken persons and ha-
bitual drunkards. Both laws are
now in force, and the attention OF
those interested in the subject will be
turned toward Michigan for the next
year or two, to see what changes, il
any, are effected thereby.

Mrs. Lincoln Attempts Suicide.

CHICAGO, May 20.-The Times has
information that Mrs. Lincoln at
tempted TO commit suicide by poison
ing. After being removed from the
court room we're she was adjudged
insane yesterday, her lunatic symp-
toms became quite violent, and che
was put under the strictest surveil-
lance, it being feared that she might
do injury to herself. To-day she
escaped from her room and hurried
to the drug store of Frank Squires,
under the Grand Pacific Hotel she
ordered compound of camphor and
laudanum, ostensibly for neuralgia.
The clsrk informed her it would take
about ten minutes to make it; where
upon she took carriage and drove
To two other drug stores. She was
followed by Mr.. Squires, who prevent
ed the druggist from giving her the
compound. She finally returned to
the first place and procured mixture
which she supposed was what she
wanted but which was harmless
She drank this as she left the store.
AS it had no effect, she tried to leave
her room again to obtain larger
dose. but was prevented. She was
removed to the private hospital at
Batavia, Illinois, this afternoon.
where she will have every attention.

The Home of the President.

A Representative, of the Springfield,
His, Journal visited Gal q short
time since, wrote a very readable
letter to his paper from that point.
We copy the following:
The brick bull ling which Capt.
Grant occupied for about three years
previous to the war, is near toe sum-
NIT of the north bluff, and commands
fine view of the city and valley be-
low.
While in Galena L was introduced
to Mr.. Perkins, who was formerly in
partnership with jesse Grant, father
of Ulysses, and is still in business at
the old stand of Grant and Perkins.
He is an elderly gentleman, and ap-
pears to be u shrewd, practical BUSH
ness man. He talked freely OF Capt.
Grant, who was an assistant in the
store before the war commenced.
Il remember the time" said he,
"when the news of the firing npon
Fort Sumter was received. A war

state Convention.

The Republicans of Wisconsin
will meet in convention at Mad
ison on Wednesday, July 7th,
to select candidates for the sew
eral State offices to be filled by
election in November next. The
convention is called to be held earlier
than has been usual heretofore by at
least month. We think the action of
the committee. in deciding upon an
early convention was wise, and will
lead to good results. The farmers
have justly complained that the local
caucuses for the purpose OF electing
delegates to the State convention
have been held during the busy sea-
son Of harvest, thus in great meas
ure debarring them from an oppor-
tunity of exercising the rightful priv
ilege of choice and representation.
A State convention before the harvest
would, therefore, better accommodate
the farming classes. Another thing:
the Republican party of Wisconsin
with its boosted record of the past for
faithful and honest administration of
the affairs of the State has no fears of
long political contest. 1t challenges
criticism, and does not fear to meet the
opposition, face to face, in defence
of its principles or its acts. The re-
cord of a political party during its
supremacy is made up, not in its plat
forms and promises, but in its acts.
If the Democratic party of the State
and country is measured on the one
reckoning how glossy and alluring
has been its surface; ifjudged by the
| other rule how numerous and often
sive its deformities.

with the 23d verse: They that 90
down to the sea in ships" The Pri>
mates special prayer is as follows:
Thou that stitch above the water floods
and stileth the raging of the sea, accept, we
beseech Thee, the supplicaton of Thy serv-
ants for all who in this ship, now and here
after, shall commit their lives unto the perils
of the deep. All their ways enable them truly
and godly to serve Thee, and by their Christian
lives to set forth Thy glory throughout the
earth. Watch over them in their going forth
and in their coming in, that no evil bef,ll them,
nor mischief come nigh to hurt their souls, and
so through all the changes and chances of this
mortal life bring them of Thy mercy to the sure
haven of Thine everlasting Kingdom through
Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
The ceremony concludes with the
Lords Prayer.
