In the manifesto are the following:


That the President Il openly aiding and aDettlng tne
Vaccinations OF the enmies OF law and order Dy permit
ting the officers Of tho army 10 invest the polls with


troops and thereby preventing the free and untrammeed
expression OF the popular sovereignty That ne mas
adopted punish the offenders or 10 restore
the sanctity OF the balDtboX guaranteed by the Const
tuition That all petitions and protests directed 70 the
House OF Representatives by those who wounded or
matreated during the election have been totally DIS
regarded. That complaints lodged with the President,
the Governor OF the State the election Judges or other
officials have received no attention That the House OF
Representatives has silently submitted to the insult OF
fered by number Of the officers OF the national troops
who appeared before the bar Of the House armed ana
publicly threatened all members who should censure
their conduct.


IL easily be gathered from the foregoing that the
advice given by the leaders of the opposition Is not map
propriae, although TO American citizen such course
would seem incOmprehensibe But then In this country
have different institutions, and the Government Is
constituted in quite another manner than that OF the

OF the military at the polls, and aferward by generous

DEPRESSION IN THE COLONIAL COTTON TRADE.


LONDON, Wednesday, June %, 1869.
A Adeputaton of gentlemen representing the Lam

THE LATE DECISION OF the United States Su-
preme Court that both coin and currency are
legal tender. and that all contracts for the pay
ment of coin are valid and may be enforced by
law, places the legal liability of the Union Pa
cific Railroad Company to pay the interest and
principal of Its first mortgage bonds beyond
question. What some of the courts have here
tofore held was matter of honor has now
become an obligation, and must enhance the
market value of their securities.


These bonds are first mortgage upon one O
the longest lines of railroad In the world The
amount will be less than s27. 900 per mile, The
earnings from local business over a portion of
the road last year were over FIVE million dollars
and after its completion early this season the
immense through traffic of the Pacific States
will increase this sum to fifteen or twenty
millions. The payment of both interest and
principal of the bonds in gold is, therefore,
perfectly sure.


The present high price of Governments offers
a favorable opportunity to sell and to reinvest
in a bond equally safe and more valuable on
account of the longer period before its maturity
The exchange tctL no0 pdN profit Of from ten TO
fourteen per cent. AS the issue of these bonds
will soon cease, parties who desire to invest are
invited to make their subscriptions at once

The floating church at the foot Of Pike
street. on East river, New York, is rapidly
approaching completion, and will doubtless
be consccrated by the lst Of November. 1t
is of handsome Gothic design, proportioned
to its peculiar situation. The walls arc low,
but the roof is Of very deep pitch, and as
the sidc-timbers rise in q grand sweep to
the vault, the interior effect is very fine.
There is to be handsome-painted window
above the Holy Table, and the whole of the
interior-bcams and panels are to be deco
rated with color. The building will
seat about five hundred, and its cost,
including the barge on which it is erected,
will be thirty thousand dollars. 1t will
bear the name of The Church of Our Savior,
and will be (as the old structure was) mainly
attended by sca-faring men and their fam
lilies.

they will not trouble themselv es


with business enterprises. Besides.


our bonds arc going abroad at such a
rate, under the stimulating influence


of high interest and the desire of for


eign capitalists to invest in them, that


there will be soon a greater demand


for the precious metals to pay the


interest abroad than our mines yield


or the balance of our products can
supply. In other words, we are fast


becoming a debtor country to suoh
an extent that, with all our wealth
we shall be kept poor and our noses
perpetually to the grindstono. Would
it not be better, then, to pay the in
terest that much by transforma-
ton of the debt? In the first case
the debt might remain as it is, would
save tho expense to the government
that must bo incurred by changing
it, and which would prevent tho
necessary augmentation of tho prin-
cipal, as we'll as the enormous jobs to
financial agents and brokers. In
the second case, the gain or income
would be direct and cost the govern
ment comparatively little to collect,
for the amount would be deducted by
the Treasury Department at tho
timo Of paying the bondholders their
interest. Better than all, it would
turn largo amount of capital now
locked up IN bonds into active busi-
ness enterprises, and would check the
vast and constantly increasing drain
OF specie from the country. Our debt
is comparatively a bagatelle, and the
hundred millions additional for the
purchase Of Cuba would amount to
nothing if tho national finances be
properly managed. In the case of
Cuba this country would be paid over
and over again through the addition
to our national wealth and the income
TO be drawn from that island. At
present We are drifting into sea of
financial difficulties, Notwithstanding
the vast resources of the country
and the enormous income Of the gov
eminent, and it behoovcs Congress
to do something soon to adjust the
revenue system and national finances
on q firm and equitable basis. IN. Y.

England is revising her laws in
respect to property holding by
married women. She is to be Sc
cured in her own property, and to
be liable to the parish for the
maintenance Of her husband, as
the latter is liable for the support
of his vile. A crusty old bache-
lor of an editor says that the next
will be to prevent both husband
and wife lrom the pecuniary obi
cations of the other, and sit is not
certain but that the husbands Of
this country will hold up both
hands for such a law" Husbands
in England are to be exempt from
the debts of the wife previous TO
marriage. In Vermont the old
practice with the Yankee pedlers
was to give unlimited credit to
handsome girls, whose prospects
for marriage were good. The hus-
band and wife problems are strug-
ling to settle themselves. In Chi
ma they have long been settled
the husband owns his wife, and
works her as be works any other
domestic animal.

A couple Of lads in Portage City,


Wis, climbed tree outside the
tent to get "dead-head" view of
Forepaugh's circus. AS soon as
the elephant was through with in
the ring, the managers brought
Linn out and hitched him to the
identical tree from the limbs of
which the lads were viewing the
circus. To ga boy up tree, !"
this thing looked a little out of or
der; but they kept as quiet as
death, fearing that they would Ell
ther lose the closing views of the
performance, or be the subject of
the displeasure of the circus man,
if he should discover them 'sdead-
heading 1t to his show. In due
time the performance closed, the
crowd dispersed, and horror upon
horrors, the keeper of the ami
mails now added to the perils of
their situation by hitching two
smaller elephants and camel to
the same tree. Our lads now dis
covered they were in for night of
it, as all hands had left, except
ing only themselves and the
animals on guard below. All
hope of escape was now cut oft.
About this time Romeo concluded
to investigate matters about him.
and with his trunk commenced
trimming out the smaller branch
es. Our boys commenced climb
ing also, until they had got above
his reach; and now the camel took
up the investigation, and poking
his ugly mug up among the limbs,
he drove the boys to the very up
permost branches of the tree,
where they were discovered at day
break by their anxious parents, who
had been searching for them in vain
all night, teetering and tossed a
bout like blackbirds on the top of
a ricestalk in a windy day. The
boys saw more of these animals
than all the rest of the boys in
town, and "for nothin'," too. andif
they don't remember the time tor
the balance OF their natural days
when they ''sat up with Romeo,
then we miss orr guess. The
phrase, "seeing the elephant" had
to them a practical application
which they will always remem-

On a Saturday evening, shortly
before the departure of the Liver
pool steamer from Belfast {Ireland,


a scene took place between a runa-
way wife and her husband which cre-
ated no little amusement to the by
ISLANDERS. It seems that a short
time ago some friends Of the bus
band sent him SIG. At the time
the money reached Belfast he was
confined in the lunatiO asylum, from
which be was discharged few days
ago. When his wife was apprised
of his discharge, she packed up all
the "ayailables' about the house,
and proceeded to the quays for the
purpose of going to Liverpool,
where, it appears, she had arranged
to join widower, whose three chill
dren she was taking with her, leav-
ing her own behind. The husband,
on meeting her at the quay, used all
his persuasive powers to induce her
TO return with him to the bosom Of
her family, but she, his better half
knew better, and positively refused
to do so, upon the ground, as she
stated, that she had been obliged to
keep him for six yeaIs. She also
stated that she had spent a good
deal Of money on medical men who
had attended him, and was to The
effect the only complaint from which
be was suffering was laziness. The
wife accompanied by the widoWer's
children, sailed by the steamer, and
the disconsolate husband returned
to his desolate home.

twine a yard or two in length,
make one turn around the neck,
rapidly move the bottle from one
end of the string to the other,
that the friction may heat the
part; while hot, dip in cold water
and the glass is cracked off as
clean and smooth as if cut by a

ments with the string are all that
is required. A bottle may be cut

ga bridegroom up the linden
tree" is the heading of a curious
marriage story which really oc-
Cured a few weeks ago in q little
village pleasantly situated on the
Rhine. A certain land owner of
the village had daughter who
was courted by a neighboring
swain. and after the latter had got
the promise of the old gentleman,
his future father-in-law, to make
over the homestead to himself,
the marriage day was fixed. The
day was Sunday, and the guests
had assembled from far and wide.
They had already begun to make
the marriage procession, when sud-
denly the bridegroom was found to
have disappeared, and in spite of
all the searching, in the yard, in
the barn, stable and neighboring
houses, not the least trace of him
could be found. The bride wept
bitterly at her lover's deception,
and everybody heaped abuse upon
the missing one. Finally one of
the searchers was successful in dis
covering the bridegroom in the
thickly-leated summit of a large
linden tree which stood at the
back of the house. All the guests
then ran to look at him some be-
gan to abuse him for making such
a spectacle at that critical moment,
while the parish pastor addressed
some pretty sharp words about his
conduct. The young man, how
ever, did not seem inclined to come
down and fulfill his engagement,
but began to explain from where
he was perched what was the mat
ter. He said that his intended
father-in-law had promised faith
fully before the betrothal to trans
fer his land to him (the bride
groom but the promise had been
STAYED of from day to day. and at
the time of speaking it was not
fulfilled. He would, therefore,
not enter the portal Of the church
until the old gentleman had done
his duty. And in spite of all pro
testations by the guests and the
old man, the village schoolmaster
mad at last to be sent for to make
out the contract; and only after
this was signed, sealed and deliv.
cred, did the delinquent descend
from the linden tree and take his
scbbing bride to church.
