TnE Rockville Patriot solemnly lectures the matin lnminiry on lower Main street.

THE New England Woman's Club is doing a great and good work. It has raised the sum of $65,000 to obtain cheaper homes for working people.

THE assets of MORGAN, BEAD & Co., the Evansville firm recently reported as having gone into bankruptcy, are said to be ^mly sufficient to pay all their

JACKSOX, MICH., with a population of only twelve thousand, by the Holly system, actually decreases the fire department's expenses enough to pay for the running of its water works.

THE Columbus Journal calls attention to the fact that of all the positions held by GEORGE W. MCCOOK, not one was given him by the votes of the people. He was appointed, not elected, in every instance, and whenever he ran before the people he was defeated.

TO-MORROW evening at 9 o'clock, New York time, a brief dispatch willbesent to all the leading cities of the world from New York, the signiture to which will be attached by Professor MORSE, the "Father of Telegraphy," by his own hand manipulating the instrument. It will arrive here about 8 o'cclock p. M.

"DRY UP until we have won our election and then we shall be in a position to help you to some purpose," is the plain English of what the Northern Democratic press is saying to JEFF and the Southern fire-eaters generally. It is not what they say, but when they say it, that creates the disturbance in the Democratic family.

THE morning sci ntilater fails to relieve the public's agonizing suspense in regard to the political status of our Congressman. Has DANIEL deliberately departed? Or does he wearily wait? At the present solemn junction in political affairs, it seems to us eminently fitting that party leaders should let the people know where they stand.

THE Vincennes Sun says that the Rev* Bishop de ST. PALAIS is going to erect a building in that ciiy for taking care of helpless and infirm females, and especially for "good and honest girls who have neither relatives nor friends to assist them in time of sickness." The patients will be provided for gratuitously, and will be under charge of the Sisters of the Female Orphan Asylum.

THE Chicago Republican appeals to Ohio to clear her own statute books of the disgraceful laws that permit and encourage the infliction of brutal and brutalizing punishments upon tender children in school, and suggests that she will then be able, with better grace, to advise her Kentucky neighbors to abolish the whipping post as a part of their punitive machinery for able-bodied criminals.

THE Detroit Free Press thinks that the Democratic party having come on to the Republican platform, there is no further excuse for the existence of the Republican party. Whereupon the Cleveland Herald is moved to remark: That is like a certain class of reformed drunkards, who think life-long abstainers have no right to express views on the Temperance question. New converts frequently manifest an excess of arrogant zeal.

A Lie Spiked.

The following correspondence is Sufficiently explicit without comment: TERSE HAUTE, May 30,1S71. Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks:

MY DEAR SIR: Will you be so kind as to inform me whether or not there are any of the late rebels now excluded from the ballot, or "right of suffrage" by any act of the General Government and greatly oblige

Your obedient servant, C. II. ALLEN.

Mr. HENDRICKS returned the above hote with this indorsement thereon: I think not any. The exclusions from the ballot are under State Constitutions and laics. Under the 14th constitutional amendment many are excluded from office. I cannot now now possibly examine the the question, but believe the above Correct. Yours,

T. A. HENDRICKS.

For a man of Mr. HENDRICKS' proverbially cautious nature, that is unusually decisive. This, from Senator PRATT is rather more emphatic:

LOGANSPORT, JUNE 3,1871.

C. 22. Allen, Esq. DEAR SIR: your letter of 29th of May has just reached me from Washington.

There is no act of Congress which excludes the late rebels or any of them, from the right of suffrage. The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution excludes certain classes of rebels from the privilege of holding office until relieved of their disabilities by Congress—twothirds of each branch concuriing—That is the only disability which rests upon rebels. Yours truly,

D. D. PRATT.

In this connection we reproduce the following letter from Senator MORTON: INDIANAPOLIS, May 31, 1871.

DEAR SIR:—In answer to your inquiry whether any rebels are now excluded from the right of suffrage by any act of Congress, or provision of the Constitution, I answer in the negative. The only political disability arising under the Constitution or laws of the United States, is ihe ineligibility to hold office under the 14th amendment.

Yours-truly, l'' O. P. MORTON. Democratic papers that still persist in circulating the wicked untruth that a portion of the late rebels are disfranchised—excluded from the ballot—by acts of Congress and Constitutional amendments, are invited to open a con' b««ysy with our two Senators and ex^HjUiDRICKS.

tt

TWENTY-FIRST YEAR.

Mixed.

The Fort Wayne GazeUe, a very radical Republican paper, coincides with the Terre Haute Journal in the opinion that the Democratic State organ don't know whether it is

on

foot or on horseback

whether it is going into the woods or out of them. Last winter it approved the action of Senator HUGHES and his com peers in voting to rescind ihe Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Now it hurrahs for VALLANDIGHAM, who has come out in favor of these amendments, and says the Democracy of Ohio have adopted "a good platform," one that has the old Democratic ring throughout." This is the first time we ever heard from a Democratic paper that negro suffrage and ne gro equality with white men before the law, were full of Democratic music.

Onr Abused Southern Brethren A deliberate attempt to deceive the people in regard to the political status of the late rebels is effectually thwarted by the statements of ex-Senator HENDRICKS, and Senators MORTON and PRATT, which we present this morning. We have asserted repeatedly, during the last few months, that not a single rebel is disfranchished by any act of Congress or constitutional amendment. This assertion has been persistently denied. It will be seen that the distinguished gentlemen whose notes we print fully corroborate all that we have claimed. Mr. HENDRICKS, as is natural for him at all times, and pardonable in one occupying the "ticklish" posi tion of a Democratic candidate for President, is slightly circumlocutory, but he states plainly that the disfranchisement is under Stale laws. With those laws neither the General Government nor the people of other States have anything to do. Mr. HENDRICKS further asserts that, under the 14th amendment, many are excluded from office. Here is the section of that amendment to which he alludes. Read it and see how terribly wicked this government is in its treatment of men who added infamous perjury to their damnable treason:

SEC. 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Sensible.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE is one of the sensible women of the day. She takes a practical view of life, and would apply the same rules to women as the world does to men. Recently a large female suffrage convention was held in San Francisco. Miss NIGHTINGALE sent a letter from London, which was read, in winch she said: 'x "Let women show how well they can perform the duties of a post, profession, or privilege, hitherto considered as man's alone, and men will not long deny women their 'rights.' Above all, let women show that they can acquire and practice those business habits, in doing the business of God and the world, which alone can secure men's success in the professions of men. Let not women think they require less cultivation, less assiduous perseverance, than have distinguished all men who have succeeded."

The New York Globe hopes, in due time, to see training schools of all sortr open for women, and, what is better, it expects they will be well patronized. The curse of the hour for both men and women is ignorance.. Everybody should have a trade or profession—women as well as men. If a woman is capable of doing any kind of work well, Bhe need not be long out of employment.

FUNERAL CEREMONIES.

PARIS, June 7.—The funeral ceremonies to-day over the remains of five cleriical victims of the Commune were solemn and impressive. Notre Dame was grandly arrayed. The central object in the column was the go rgeous cat afarque, containing the remains of the Archbishop, surrounded by minor structures bearing the corpses of Duquerrv, the Cure of Madelane, Suret, Grand Vicar of Devcese, Becount and Sebastion. The coffin of the Archbishop was covered with a pall of black velvet, embroidered and enriched, with massive silver cross. Thousands of silver tapers were burning in silver candelabras, and incense in vessels that were also of silver. The floor was covered with black cloth, and the pulpit was covered with black gauze bespangled with stars. Transepts a hundred and fifty feet wide appeared like huge recesses. Black drapery coverered every statue, except those of the Virgin and child, and St. Denis, the first Bishop of Paris. In the midst of all were the black and charred remains of the Bishop's chair, and his throne also half burned, from which the Communists endeavored to burn the cathedral. This was used and will be left intact as a memento of the crime. Along the route of the procession windows and streets were crammed with spectators, bells were tolled and a salute of guns was fired. A. strong force of regulars with reversed arms and muffled drums were in the srocession. The funeral car of the Ai chnshop was covered with silver, and was drawn by six horses. Another beautiful car containing the remains of Suret followed. The procession reached the cathedral at eleven o'clock. Inside the church was crowded with members of the Assembly, Priests and Sisters of Charity. At eleven o'clock the Priests and deputies, with military music, left the chancel and proceeded to the great doors, which were draped in black, to meet the coffins. Chanting then commenced, and outside was heard the beating of drums, and the roaring of cannon. The altar was magnificensly decorated, and the service was long and solemn. MacMahon, Drussey, Vinoy, L'Admirault and Favre were present.

Whoever reported that as a speech by me, committed a breach of propriety, for I was assured by the President of "the Society that no reporters were present, and that whatever was said would be confined to the persons present. Now, as to politics, I think all my personal friends know my deep seated antipathy to the subject, yet, as they seem not to understand me, I hereby state, and mean all I say. that I never have been, and never will be a candidate for President that if nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline, and eyen if unanimously elected, I should decline to serve."

FIRE—FATAL EXPLOSION.

LV,

...

FORT WAYNE, IND., June 8.—A fire was discovered last night, issuing from the cellar of the grocery store of F. F. Boltz, of this city. The cellar contained several barrels of coal oil, and the result was two terrific explosions, making sad havoc among the firemen, and the crowd gathered around the building, the first explosion killing Frederick Hiltzman instantly and wounding four others the second explosion burning eight or ten badly and fifteen or twenty slightly. Mr. Boltz himself was burned badly. The fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp, while drawing oil from an oil tank, and the fire spreading among the rags in the cellar. The second explosion blew the entire front out of the Duildiug and breaking the windows of buildings within a square of the fire. The stock, which is large, is an entire loss.

THE FLOOD SUBSIDING.

NEW ORLEANS, June 8.—There was a southeast wind with rain, at Lake Ponchatrain, last evening. The water in the city has fallen two inches in the past twenty-four hours, and is now three, inches below high water mark. The neutral ground on Canal street is clear of water, nearly to Olerborne street. Besides police and charity boats, there are one hundred small crafts engaged in the passenger traffic. Five thousand loaves of bread and other articles are in preparation, and distributed daily. A disagreeable odor arises all along the border of the overflowed district, from stagnant water, decaying vegetable* and animal matter.

WASHINGTON.

"STAX CASE.

WASHINGTON, June 8. Secretary Boutwell a few months ago, referred to Attorney General Akerman the question, whether the State of Massachusetts is entitled to retirn of internal revenue to be paid in dividends accruing to the State as a stockholder in the Boston & Albany Railroad. The Attorney General has just •ubmitted to the Secretary his opinion in the case. He states thai he does not understand the law to compel the Commissioner to refund tax which he may judge to have been erroneously collected. He is.authorizad, not obliged, to refund, but representing the government the Commissioner should refund in al cases of illegal collection, except where there is an apparent fault of the taxpayer, or his acquiescence in them constitute sufficient circumstance to credit the claims. Whether such circumstances exist in this case is for the consideration of the Commissioner. The Attorney General, after reviewing the action of several of his predecessors in cases of a similar nature to the one before him, says, that the conclusion is reached that the dividends on stock were not subject to tax, and informs the Secretary that he should assume that this tax was not legally collected.

FBOM THE INDIAN COUNTRY. On May 28th, and a few days preceding Gen. Sherman was at Fort Sill, Indistn Territory, and he gives an account of the capture of some of ihe Indians engaged in the late raid into Texas, in which seven men were killed and a corn train plun* dered. On Saturday the 27th, a large party of Indians came in for their usual rations, and Santanta, a notoriously bad Indian, not only admitted to the Indian agent that he headed the raid into Texas, but boasted of it. Mr. Jones brought them to Gen. Sherman, at Gen. Onerson's headquarters, where Santanta again made the same admission, varying the details of the story. He began to see that it was not one to be proud of. Gen. Sherman told Tantum to say whether Santanta should be arrested on the spot, and Tantum answered that he desired and requested the arrest to be made. Accordingly, after a little maneuvering to catch all those {present who were engaged in the affair, Santanta, Santauk and Big Tree v. ere arrested, and are in close confinemwit. They will be carefully guarded, aii'i turned over to Gen. McKenzie to be taken back to Texas, and tried by civil authority. The Indians begged to be shot on the spot, fearing they would be lynched or mobbed, which they dread terribly, but which will be prevented in any event.

Gen. Sherman demanded of the Kiowas the forty-one mules captured from the same train, and while discussion of the ffiition was going on, Lone Wolf made another demonstration that almost resulted in a general fight. One. Indian was killed. Several shots were fired, and the Indians in camp stampeded. Gen. Sherman writes that in all these cases the Indian agent has been considerate, and his wishes have been the rule of conduct. He lays great stress on the necessity for trial and punishment of the three' who are arrested, and says if they go back to their tribe free no agency will be safe. He favors a strictly legal course, which the Indians dread far more than .the shorter verdict of the bullet.

APPOINTMENTS.

The President has made the following appointments, and has forwarded the commissions here for record. H. A. Parker, Register of Land Office at Beatrice, N. B. Henry M.

EDITORS' EXCURSION. I

BAY CITY, MICH., June P.—The editorial excursionists were escorted to the principal points of interest in East Saginaw and Saginaw City this morning. The large saw mills with a capacity varying from 25,000 to 110,000 feet per day, also the extensive salt manufactories were visited. The party were most handsomely entertained by the two rival cities, and at 11 o'clock were again on the wing for its terminus, which point was reached at noon. The party was at once conducted to the dock, where a fine steamer, the "Eighth Ohio, was in readiness to convey them out on the bay and take a trip of a couple of hours in the boat, which was the most enjoyable part of the excursion. At 3 o'clock the Bay City folks banquelted their visitors at the Frazer House, in a truly royal manner, upwards of 200 persons taking seats arouna the bountifully spread tables. The dinner, toasting, &c., continued for a couple of hours, when the guests were then seated in carriages awaiting them, and escorted over the city. At 7 o'clock all were again on board the train and en route for East Saginaw, where a reception ball has been prepared for to-night. Cincinnati capitalists, newspaper men and others in the party, have been greatly taken aback by the appearance of this great northern country, both on account of its great resources and the energy and enterprise that are infused in all classes of business. Many have been the expressions of surprise at its beautiful cities we have visited, among which are some as fine private residences and public buildings as adorn any of our southern and much older cities. The party are profuse in their thanks to J. J. Grafton, the instigator of the excursion, and other railroad officials whe have done 30 much to secure the enjoyment of the party. An invitation has just been extended to the party to a trip over the Flint and Point Marquette Road, from Saginaw to the northern terminus, about 75 miles north in the pine wilderness.

CLEVELAND, O. June 8.—A brakeman named Jones, employed on a freight train on the Lake Shore & M. S. R.R., accidentally fell early this morning between the cars, while the train was moving between Kin^sville and Madison. He Ml upon the track, and the remainder of the train ran over his legs, tearing them oiij and mangling his body. While lying on the track, he heard a passenger train approaching, and expecting he would not be seen, and would run over him he drew his knife from his pocket, drew the blade and stabbed himself twen-ty-two times about the breast and left arm. He had tried to penetrate his heart, and produce death sooner, but was too weak to guide his blows. The engineer saw him in time to stop the cars. He was taken to Madison, where he died soon aftor. •KWQWffWf *5-'saw
