Dunn,

last Saturday

night descended to a ytrv li|tl*and,contemptible peace of meanness, when he stepped aside from the political field'and entered the private circle to east odium upon members of the family of Mr. oerhees.—Journal.

The assertion that Mr. DuAtf "entered the private circle to cost odium upon members of the family of Mr. VoorHEESj'' is as far from the truth aa-'the most mean and malicious perversion ot facts could make it. The utmost that/ can honestly be charged against him, in this connection, is that he made an allusion to the reason assigned by Mr. 00R11 EES, two years ago, for declining a joint canvass with Major Caktek. Such an. allusion may not have been in good taste, but there are few men who, in a long, extemporaneous speech, will not occasionally let slip a word that their own cool judgment condemns. It was evident to ihost wlio heard il/. Dunn, that hf regretted the allusiou as soon as he had made it, and if the

Journal

were disposed

to treat him lairly, it would state tMit he instantly apologized for the personal reference in the most ample manner. .nt

That is the' whole 8t»rv. fairly told, and the

Journal

can make the inoit of it.

But if Mr. Dunn were disposed to violate the proprieties of political discussion, bv "entering the private circle, to cast odium upon .the members thereof,he could find plenty#of precedents for jgo objectionable a course in the repord of D. W. Yoorhees' last Congressional canvass. "Two wrongs,'* however, "do not make a right," and Mr. Dunn will not follow the set him I^'Yoor1 11 ees.

The "Maiden's Grave."

California Correspondence Chicago Journal.) After crossing the dreadful desert, we emerge into a pleasant valley, pa® through wild canyons, creep along high -trestle-work, rfhd' speed 'through a vast extent of splendid grazing country for_ many miles. We pass the "MaidenB' Grave," a lonely headstone by the roadside, which bears its tragic story:

A partv of emigrants long ago encamped here "awhile, seeking rest, and waiting for the waters of the river to subside. While tliey tarried, a young girl, one of the party, beautiful and fondly beloved fell into grievous sickness. Far from humC^bitatid^l#^f^ ##a] aid jk'jtLin mileS \of jrAry 'tjwi'ftfipg, theySSjJfed hei&*$. vain.

Her pure spirit, home-sick for Heaven, Hoated out into the midst that enwraps the earth: and there they buried her, set up a simple head-stone, shed loving tears, and left her in the wilderness, alone with God. Long after, when the great Pacific Road was being built, the workmen came across the little grave, with its fast-decaying head-stone, rudely marked,

MAKY, AGED IS."

The sight awoke those finer feelings, thank God! implanted behind shirts of homespun, as^eH as satin vests, so .they billlt about tifcei'gra^e a wall or stone, and reared-above it a.c4Ws,*acred emblem of immortality, that Mary" might not sleep unhonored in the strange and lonely land.

The majority resolution declares the policy pursued by the United States against four and a half millions of people sudden jy enfranchised by the events «f the great civil war, in seeking to provide for their education, to render them independent and self-supporting^ in extending to them civil and political equality, is a source pf just national pride, arid' that the House aeqaits Major. General O. O.. Howard bf the groundless and causeless charges latclv preferred against hiifi and declares andeecocds its judgment that successfully organizing and administering with fidelity the Freedmen's Bureau, which contributed so much to the accomplishment of the first, two1 or fthree ends/he is deserving of the gratitude of the American people.

HEW YORK.

WITHDRAWAL OF PRINCE LEOPOLD.

New York,

July 13.—A cable special

dited London, July 12, says, tke formal Withdtawal of Prince Leopold has been telegraphed to Madrid. His action based solely on the ground that ia consequence of the insult which has been offered to Spanish honor, the Cortes would be guided in their vote by determination to upbrild the independence of the nation and therefore his election would not be a spontaneous and sincere expression in favo* of the Prince, without which ne" woi^d not he willing to ascend the throne. Prussia maintains her dignity intact, and yields not an inch to French demands. CIRCUtAR FROM THE'BRITtSH QOVEKN-

HEXT.

The British government has addressed a'circular note to' its representatives abroad defining its position in Spanish affairs. I

The note deprecates thf discourtesy of Spain in concealing from a friendly power negotiations with a foreign Prince "in connection with the Spanish throne. Regrets the thrertening tone of France, which is calculated to obstruct explanations and an amicable settlement. Ajpproves of Prussia's position in the absence of proof of her complicity in intrigije.^ While the elw!tion of Prince Leopuld would be destitute -of political impohaace, England will do all mher power'to induce him to withdraw, in order to preserve the peace of Europe. ,i I ,,t(t THE ENGLISH MlS^IOIf.

A Washington s(ecial says there is the best reason for believing that Mr. Motley's successor as Minister to England will be ex-Senator Theodore FreelingJ^uysen, of New Jersey, and tliat his' name will, be sent to the Senate-to-day or tomorrow.
