Senator Fesssenden has received a letter signed by 30 prominent citizens of Boston, headed by Gov. Bullock, indorsing his course on impeachment, and tendering him a public dinner. He replied, thankins them for the honor, but declines the invitation. A telegram from Charleston, S. C., June 14, says the election returns, now complete from thirtyone districts in South Carolina, indicate that the radicals have carried 15 and the democrats 16 districts. A grand state banquet was given to Admiral Farragut and the officers of his staff, last week, at Brussels, by the United States minister, Mr. Sanford. A statement has been circulated and authoritatively confirmed, in foreign courts, that Count Bismark will retire from office for a period of three months, solely for the benefit of his health. The Sultan of Turkey and his new cabinet are maturing a plan to permit persons of foreign birth residing in Turkey to legally hold property, which right is to be guaranteed by treaties with foreign powers. Hon. Reverdy Johnson was unaminously confirmed as Minister ! to England by the Senate, last Fri-1 day. He leaves for London about! the middle of J uly. Mr. Evarts has been tendered a position in the Cabinet as Attorney General. The Indianapolis Sentinel says fruit growejs arc complaining that locusts are doing incalculable in- | Jury to orchards by killing thej trees. ’ It is thought the Hon. Montgomery Blair will succeed Reverdy Johnson as U. S. Senator from Maryland,

* A Washington dispatch, of the 13th inst., says Governor Morton will leave the Capitol in a few days to recuperate his health. Hist sight has become affected and his general health is impaired. Gen. Logan, on Monday, offered a resolution, in the House, to | remove the Capitol from Washing- 1 ton. assigning as the Cause the dis loyalty of the inhabitants and their persistent disregard of the laws of Congress and their contempt thereof The bill admitting the Southern States to representation in Congress passed that body last Friday, and was sent to the President for his signature. It is said the President disapproves the bill but is anxious to have those States ad mitied and will probably sign it.

Ohio to be Re-constructed. • — - Our readers have not forgotten - that the people of Ohio, repudiated = negro suffrage by a decided majority, last fall. It was made an issue as between the parties, the ’ radicals affirming the right of the “man and brother” to the right of suffrage and the Democrats denying. At the polls the radicals went to the wall. The Democrats carried the negro suffrage question by 50,000, secured a majority in the General Assembly, and as a consequence proceeded to direct legislation in such a manner as to carry out the will of the people.— Heretofore the laws of Ohio did not permit persons to vote with a “visible admixture of African blood,” but where negro worshipers controlled, the law was disre- , garded and negroes voted unchal-; enged. To put a stop to this violation of Jaw, the Democrats, last winter, threw further restrictions in the way of negro voting. This did not meet the views and wishes of some of the illustrious radicals at Washington, among them Mr. Shellabarger, of who, on the Bth, of June, introduced a bill into the House, to the effect that what is known as the “visible admixture” bill, of Ohio, shall not apply to any election in that State for Congressmen. It will be remembered that the radicals at Chicago, resolved that the negroes of the SoutlT were guarraateed equal suffrage by considerations of safety, (to the radical party) gratitude and justice, and it must be maintained, while the question of suffrage in all the I loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States. But right in the face of this declaration, Mr. Shellabarger, of Ohio, introduces a bill to the contrary. He sounds a note of alarm —the alarm is that in some of the districts of Ohio, the negroes control the balance of power, and without their aid Democrats will be elected this fall in the place of the radicals now representing those • districts. The question that Mr. ( Shellabarger submits to the radicals in Congress at once becomes a question of policy. They do not inquire what right Congress has to interfere with’the question of suf- ' frage in the States. The question is will we gain more than we loose by passing Mr. Shellabargers bill? If they decide in caucus that the radicals will be the gainers, it will | pass, notwithstanding the Chicago < resolution and regardless of its legality. It is upon these questions that , the Democrats are arraigning the radicals. This is centralization.— It is entirely outside of the Constitution. It is a question that the people of Indiana are deeply interested in. If Congress to-day strikes at the rights of the people of Ohio, and assumes to legislate for her people, where is the difference between the people of Ohio, and 1 South Carolina or Louisiana? If : Congress strikes at the rights of I the people of Ohio to-day, they J may to-morrow commit a mean flagrant outrage upon the rights of the people oflnd ana, and the next day Illinois may be the victim.— The struggle at once, and now is, between the rights of the people and the perpetuation of radical- ( | ism. It has already become agi gressive in its character. It di- j rects the legislation of ten States of the Union at the point of the bayonet, and now proposes to put the thumb screw to the people of

the North. It remains to be seen whether they will longer trust a party whose entire history has been characterized by one abuse of power after another, that which we have had under discussion being among the least, and is only used as in ill lustration because being in direct) : conflict with the party platform.— Are the people of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois and all the great States of the North and West willing to submit to radical re-construction upon the principle of the “bottom rail on top,” and class legislation ? Shall Radicalism perpetuate itsel by violating every princple of the Constitution ? Shall Radicalism perpetuate itself for the benefit of the millionare, bankers and manufacturers, and at the expense of the people ? Let the people an- . swer.

. From Washington. Washington, June 12.—The let- ] ter of Commissioner Rollins, ten- . deriDg the resignation of his office 1 to the Secretary of the Treasury, ’ and giving his reasons therefor, l was last evening returned with the . following endorsement: The within communication, just ’ handed to me, though bearing date : the Sth inst., is considered partial . and incorrect in its statement, and , |unjust and disrespectful to the President, it is therefore returned to Mr. Rollins. (Signed) Hugh McCulloch, Secretary. During May 24,400 acres of public lands were disposed of at the local offices at Humboldt and Topeka, Kansas. The following Republicans voted for excluding Florida in the House to-day: Bromwell, Cobb, Eliot, Farnsworth, Julian, Maynard, Paine, Price Pike, Sawyer, Taflee and Washburne. , Washington, July 13. Major Keeler, of General Buchanan’s staff, reached here last evening with dispatches for General Grant, relating to affairs in New Orleans. To-day the Mayor, accompanied by Colonel Mann, one of the members of Congress elect from Louisiana, visited the President, the Secretary of War and General Rawlings, General Grant being absent, and laid the matter before them. The result was that the following instructions were sent, about four this afternoon, to General Buch anan, by order of General Schofield, approved by General Grant, through General Rawlings, and signed dy the President: General Buchanan : Your action is sustained. The officers elected under the new constitution can not be installed without your consent, until the time fixed by act of Congress. It is deemed advisable for you to await the act of Congress now about t<> become a law before permitting the Legislature to meet, or officers to be installed. In the First District of Mississippi, Townsend, an ex-United States soldier, is the Democratic candidate for congress, and Wofford. late of the Confederate army js radical opponent. Verily, “times change and men change with them !”■— Columbus, Georgia, Enquirer. “Circumstances alter cases,” yon know, Mr. Enquirer. IfWdF , ford had been the Democratic . candidate, he would have been, in radical parlance, a red-handed rebel with his hands yet dripping with the blood of our murdered Union soldiers, but, being a rad. he has become all at once a very proper and loyal person. So of Colonel Townsend. If i he had been the radical candidate , be would, in set phrases, have been eulogized as a gallant Union ( soldier, worthy of the gratitude of j his country and the support of ( every loyal man. But as he is a , Democratic candidate, he is noth , ing but a vile “coperhead” and the , Johny Reb Wofford ought to be i elected over him! Such is radical logic.— State Sentinel. A Curiosity.—On Tuesday of last week, a Mr. Morris and his 1 wife, who live in Beech Creek Township came to town with their two children who are most hideously and terribly deformed. There is one of each sex, the male being twenty two years old. The ; male is about thirty inches high, and weighs forty pounds. The female is about twent eight or nine inches, weighs about thirty-five pounds, and is about twenty-one years of ago. Their faces looked like they were terribly swollen, and evidently diseased. They have but little if any mind. The male does not talk at all, and the female, speaks but few intelligible sentences. Their feet are cramped and drawn up, and they can walk but a little distance before giving out 1 They are as helpless aae infants.— Mr. Morris being poor, he made application to the County Commissioners for assistance in supporting them. These are the greatest living curiosities of the human race that has ever come under our observation. — Bloomfield Democrat. , Says the New York Mail: ‘Fighting Joe ITooker’ would hardly be recognized by his comrades ■ in arms.—a confirmed invalid, the victim of paralysis, dependent upon others.

MWMnMM—MW—nW—a—W— One of the committee to apprise General Grant of his nomination was a negro named Harris, who > migrating to North Carolina from somewhere in the North, was a of the bogus convention in that State and delegate therefrom to the Chicago Convention. A reporter relates him thus: He was introduced, of course, by the immense Manager Washburne, but neither General Grant, Colfax, or the ladies present, nor any one of the great radical Moguls seemed to know Brother Harris. Tha company at one time were nearly all crowded in the back parlor, while Harris was observed standing solitary and alone in a comer of the front parlor room. There he remained for over half an hour, the observed of no one except the reporters, who proceeded to take side notes of Brother Harris' solitary condition. It was a fact to which many can testify, that neither Grantnor Colfax, save at the introduction, took any notice of Harris during the evening. He.was like our Jake on a picnic, “not fixed”—or poor Sambo at a dance, “widout Dinah being dar.” General Hawley, General Logan nor any of the larger radical guns deigned to notice this practical innovation of black upon white. He was not noticed by the politicians, and only pitied by the reporters. He “stuck,” however, remaining until after supper, secured a place at the table, and like all true breeds of the African type, did full justice to ices, berries and sweetmeats generally. He finally retired, unhonored and unsung. Alas Sambo, mark thy coming fate. A Letter from Senator Sumner to a gentleman in South Carolina, in regard to the removal of politic al disabilities imposed by the military bills, has lately been published, and has attracted much attention. The senator declined to interfere for the removal of disabilities in individual cases, because, as he alleged, he hoped some action would be soon taken to release the whites of the south from the disfranchisement and exclusion from office from which they now suffer. The falsity and hypocrisy of this allegation are apparent from the fact that Sumner has been foremost in urging the omnibus bill ( for the admission of the southern ( states under things, called constu- , tions, providing for the continu- , ance of those political disabilities, j He is also pressing the constitu- j tional amendment known as the 14th article, the sole purpose of which is to prevent white men j from voting aud holding office. f Sumner is conscious of the infamy ( .of the measures which have placed f the south under negro rule by disfranchising white men, and promises that those measures shall be j amended. While making such ( promises, he is the most active ( among the Jacobin senators in sustaining the legislation to which wo have referred.^' How can such j meanness and duplicity be right- ( lydenounced?—C’Aicapo Times. ( i Highly Unfortunate. In his letter to Hon. I. N. Mor- f Rls, written on the 20th of January i 1864, General Grant says: | “In your letter you say that I ( lave it in my power to be the next President This is the last thing in the world I desire. I would regard such a consummation as being highly unfortunate for myself, 1 if not for the country.” This is certainly a,n honest and 1 candid confession. And we opine 1 the people will agree with General 1 Grant that his election to the Presidency would be “highly unfortunate” both for himself and the country, and as it is “the last thing in the world” he desires, they will comply with his wishes and allow him to remain in his present position as General of the Army—a position which he says in this, same.letter, he “infinitely prefers to that of any civil office within the gift of the people.” By all means let us carry out General Grant's wishes!— Sentinel. Aboninable if True. —We see it stated that “the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate supboenas all the witnesses in the impeachment trial by telegraph, and then charges ten cents a mile travelling expenses to and from the places of residence. His dispatch to General Rousseau, in Oregon, puts 81,600 into his pocket” If the above is true, it is simply outrageous. The people are taxed almost beyoud their ability to pay their Honest debts—and this they are willing to endure. But to be taxed to allow one man here, and another there, to accumulate fortunes in the shape of official perquisites, is a matter which should receive the immediate attention of those who call themselves the representatives of the people, but who often are merely the representatives of a ring of scheming politicians. - , ■ Grant on retrenchment —pro- ’ posing to increase the pay of arm; ’ offlcers-thjrty three and a thin percent!

Radicals Who Cannot Support Gen. Grant. Hilton—he has called Grant a drunkard. Phillips—He has called Granta drunkard and as brainless as his saddle.” Summer—He says Grant is not an “irreversible guarantee,” and “made a white-washing report to fortify Andrew Johnson.” Chase—“ Grant is a man of vile habits and one idea.” Anna Dickinson—“l am going to England to get out of advocating this bungler.” Mrs. Stanton—“ Grant says nothing, and knows less than nothing.” Wilson—,l will never, so help me God, support any but temperance men for office.” Greeley—“ The Presidency requires a man of ideas and a state man” Colfax—“l declare in advance no doubtful person shall have my ballot for President” Kelley—“l will die in my tracks before I will subscribe to this whitewashing report of this man (Grant who has joined his testimony, and will join his fate to that public enemy,) A. Johnson. Curtin—“Only a man in favor of negro suffrage can command my vote.” Grant declares “negro suffrage means a war of races. Old Thad.—Never ask me to support a twaddler and trimmer for office.” Geary—“ Drunkards, like pirates, are public enemies." Frelinghuysen—“The nation owes to its self-respect to tolerate imbecility in politics no longer.” Wade—“ Grant knows nothing of politics, * * He can talk nothing but horse.” Yates—“l own I have been a drunkard; I will be one no longer, nor will I longer cast my lot with such men.”— The New York World. The Words of Agassiz. Upon the subject matter —the mixture of races—touched on in the annexed extract from Agassiz' recent work on Brazil, the authority of the writer is pre-eminent: “Let any one who doubts the evil of this mixture of races, and is inclined, from a mistaken philanthrophy, to break down all barriers between them, come to Brazil. He can not deny the deterioration consequent upon an amalgamation of races, more widespread here than in any other country in the world, aud which is rapidly effacing the best qualities of the white man, the negro, and the Indian, eaving a mongrel nondescript type, deficient in physical and mental. At a time when the new social status of the nigro is a sub ect of vital importance in our statesmanship, we 'should profit jy the experience of a country where, though slavery exists, there is far more liberality toward the free negro than he has ever enjoyed in the United States. Let us earn the double lesson; open all the advantages of education to the negro, and give him every chance of sucess which culture gives to the use it; but respect the laws of nature, and let all our dealings with the black man tend to pre serve, as far as possible, the distinctness of his national characteristics, and the integrity of our own." The Election Farce In Washington. We have had an election for mayor and aldermen in Washington, and the democratic mayor and a majority of the al derman were elected. Notwithstanding by an unblushing system of fraud, the radicals took possesssion of the offices and refused to count the ballots according to law. And this was done after they had thrown out 300 sodiers’ votes, which they declared- illegal. The blacks, incited thereto by white radicals, intimidated negroes who proposed to vote the the conservative ticket, and finally wound up killing white and black persons in the streets and sacking several stores. Altogether, the exhibition of negro rule was such as* to disgust all order-loving and law abiding citizens with the entire municpal institutions of the corporation as at present conducted. I do not suspect that the great majority of whites will take any part in the next election, for they feel ft is utterly useless for them to do so in the expectation of having a fair election, or of having the candidates, of their choice inaugurated if they are elected. A Crying Evil.—The Boston Banner of Light says: “American women, of late years, dislike to have children—they consider it a crying evil —and have resorted to abortion as a remedy. One of our most prominent physicians inform ed us recently that the number of cases in this city, even among ‘respectable’ married women, would not be credited were a full statement given.” Murder will out, and no person with a conscience, can call it by any other name. The" radicals sees as sure of Grant's election as they were Confident the President would be impeached \
