HON. M. C. KERR, by advice of hi* physicians, will sail for Europe to day.

A SPASM of virtue has seized Evans ville, and the remilt in an effort to sup preHH the social evil.

CJiijj. E. F. WINSLOW, of the St. L. & S. E. K. YV., lias received Alt. Vernon'* subscription of $107,000 in her city bonds, to the stock of the road.

AN elec'ion vva* held on Monday, in Cairo, on the (jiiention of a subscription in aid of the Cairo & Yincennea Railroad, which resulted in a vote of 1,307 in favor of the road to 4 against it.

A DISPATCH from Lebanon, Ohio, states that Judge I'OPE, of the Court of Common Pleas, has ordered a change of venue, of the case of the State against THOMAS MC (JKIIAN, -ending it to the County of Montgomery for trial.

(JAMHLCHS are reported as having a hard time in Chicago, by reason of legal interference with their vocation. In a city where most of the business is conducted on gambling principles, puch class distinctions are hardly to be expected.

AIK. VOOIUIKKS shown his usual consistency in coming out for HENDRICKS for President. An undeparted shouting the praises of the recognized leader of the departed! A lachrymose watcher by the graves of issues deluncl, cheering on "the forward movement!"

STATE HOVKEIQNTV, the right of secession, nullification—these are some of "the ancient Democratic doctrines and principles" which, the Journal, says, this is, pre-eminently, the time to adhere to! All this in the Year of our Lord, 1871, and in the city of Terre Haute, Indiana.

TUP: struggle for protection to American industry has, at last, been carried fairly nnd squarely "into Africa." In tlie city of New York, the chosen citadel of the free traders, there has just been formed for active operations an "IrishAmerican Protective Tariff Association."

TNEONORE TILTON thinks State laws ought to grant divorce for other causes than those laid down in the New Testament. lie would authorize the separation of couples of uncongenial temper, and give them an opportunity to try again,especially where the uncongeniality is so great that the parties are unable to live together.

TWENTY Democratic editors in Ohio, a dozen or more in Pennsylvania, besides our valiant neighbor of the Journal, continue to fight the new departure and bat* tie manfully for "the ancient Democratic doctrines and principles." To this listi we must add the name of "BRICK" POMF.ROY, whose paper is pouring hot shot into the ranks of the departed.

THE Journal approves of our suggestion that the Fourth of July should be unitedly celebrated by all nationalities and classes of citizens. While we are about it, suppose we condemn the practice of getting up celebrations on that day for the purpose of making money? It seems to us that there are some things too sacred to be turned into cash that neither patriotism nor religion should be coined.

THE history of the recent Franco-Ger-man war, which will soon issue from the press of the National Publishing Comipany, of Cincinnati, ought to have a large sale in this section. An extended notice .of the work, prepared by an accomplished •critic—whose labors we cannot appropriate without acknowledgment—will be tfound in another column. The book is iprinted in both German and English.

EVANSVILI.E has a prospect of settling her Water Works difficulties. The contractors propose to construct a suction pipe to extend into the river, so that the •water can be supplied to the Water HVorks well, for which they ask extra compensation amounting to $8,000, and »offer the Holly Manufacturing Company tas security for the success of the undertaking. This proposition is to be accepted.

A CAM.E DISPATCH speaks of the Watverly Celebration, in aid of the fund for the erection of a monument to Sir WALTER SCOTT, as "an immense success, realizing five hundred pounds." That is equal to $2,500, which is less, by $300J than the gross receipts of the Terre Haute Printers' Fourth of July Excursion! But then Queen Vic's domestic tribe attended the Waverly festival, and danced in character costumes, which makes the story worth telegraphing at cable rates!

A Mistake.

The Indianapolis Journal of the 7th says: "Mr. Hendricks "departs," and is understood to assert that he is accompanied on his long journey by his fellow-citizen, and warm jersonal and political friend, the lion. Daniel W. Voorhees."

On the other hand, the Terre Haute JotirnaL, speaking by authority of Mr, VOORHEES, relieved the agonizing suspense of DANIEL'S constituents, some weeks ago, bv declaring, unequivocally, that he had not departed, and would not stultify himself—go back on his own record—by accepting "the forward movement." This is understood to be Mr. V'8 present attitude, and he has not hesitated to define his position, whenever an opportunity has occurred in conversation with his friends. Mr. HEN DRICKS does injus tice to "his warm personal and political friend" in representing him *as having swallowed what his organ called "the Davton Doctor's nauseating doee."

TWENTY-FIRST YEAR.

legal vo-

Mr. Voorhees.

In ano'her column will be found a characteristic manifesto from Mr. VOORHEES, in the shape of a Journal editorial published by authority of that gentleman. While apparently speaking with great frankness, it will be seen that the main question—the new departure—is carefully avoided. It is well known, however, that Mr. VOORIIEES does not depart. Indeed the Journal so stated, by authority, some weeks ago. And so long as he Bticks to defunct issues, the Democratic masses of this District will abide with him, though "all the world and the rest of mankind" should take the "nauseating dose." But it will be observed that Mr V. comes out strongly for Mr. HENDRICKS, the most advanced of all the departed—the man who claims that the new departure originated with him and was first promulgated in his New Orleans speech. From this it is fair to infer that Mr. V's objections to "the forward movement" are not very deep seated, or else that he thinks, with Mr. RALPH WILSON, that "the new departure will never be heard of again after the approaching elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania."

DANIEL'S declination of an executive appointment under President HENDKICK'S, in 1873, is refreshingly cool— exceedingly well adapted to the heated term. It might be utilized, in lieu of ice, in the manufacture of ice cream. Such an instance of taking a gallinaceous census in advance of incubation has seldom been seen.

The Drunken Communists.

The British Medical Journal states that when the Germans had completed their investment of the French Capital, a careful estimate was made by the authorities of the stock of wines on hand in the city, and at the close of the siege it appeared that the consumption bad been eight millions of gallons per month. But even this enormous consumption was exceeded under the Commune, when Paris was besieged by the Versaillists. "This fact," observes the Medical Journal, "explains not only the terrible scenes we have witnessed, but does away with the necessity of inventing the theory of a contagious mental aberration on the part of the inhabitants of Belleville and Montmartre."

The Chicago Journal states a gentleman ofjthat city, recently returned home, who was in Paris during the terrible last days of the recent Communist insurrection, says the secret of the reckless desperation of the Insurgents was the fact of their drunkenness. The city, before the entry of the Versaillists, was the scene of general inebriation. Men, women and children were drunk to craziness, and the liquor of the Insurgent soldiery was mixed with gunpowder and other ingredients, to make them reckless and ferocious. The Journal rightly concludes that this horrible fact goes far to explain the terrible scenes and events of those days of fire, bloodshed and vandalism.

AN ABLE advocate of protection to home industry finds it necessary to say over and over again that tbecost and even the existence of production in almost every branch of manufacturing industry in this country is merely a question of wages. The averaj^ wages in most industries of England which compete with the United States are but one-half to onethird of what similar workingmen receive in this country, while in France, Belgium and Saxony the condition of the laboring classes is much wofte than it is in Gre*t Britain. This appears clearly from statistical tables, and is admitted by all well* read men, and proves that the United States must either abandon manufacturing industries or dlgrade labor to the level of Great Britain and the Continent, or maintain a tariff which will make up the difference between the wages of labor here and abroad.

Horace Greeley's Habits The great and good HORACE contributes to Beecher's Magazine, published at Trenton, New Jersey, the following letter descriptive of his simple tastes and bucol* ic habits:

DEAR SIR: I know of nothing in my habits that deserves public attention. I was formerly called a "Grahamite that

I rarely ate meat and it is still my conviction that meat should be eaten very sparingly. I eat, however, like other folks, not having timejto make myself disagreeable to everybody by insisting on special food wherever I go, since I travel much and eat in many places in the course of a year. I ceased to drink distilled liquors Jan. 1,1824, when I was not quite 13 years old. I occasionally drank beer four or five years thereafter, when I abandoned that also. I cannot remember that I ever more than tasted wine. I quit drinking coffee about 1834, because it made my hand tremble. I am opposed to nerves. I did not drink tea for a quarter of a century, ending in 1861, when I had brain fever and was very ill. My physician insisted that- I should either drink claret or tea, and I chose the lea, which (black) I have generally used since, though not uniformly. My favorite exercise is trimming up trees in a forest with an ax, cutting out underbrush, &c. I wish I could take more of it, but my farm is distant and my family scattered. I sometimes lift weights at the Lifting Cure. I have only lifted 265 pounds since I became sixty years old, February 3d last. Yours,

HORACE GREELEY.

WE KNOW that our readers will enjoy the gentle reproof that HENRY WARD BEKCHER administered to a class of highly moral people in his recent address on WASHINGTON IRVING. He was alluding to IBYING'S Knickerbocker, and regretting that it was not "pure enough" for the mental palate of some individuals. He said: "All the objectionable features, however, will be forgotten when a few re spectable gentlemen hare gone to Heaven —and they have been long waited for there, and won't be much missed here on earth."

FROM a dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette we learn that about a month ago GEORGE WILLARD, originally a southern refugee, but who has since married the daughter of a well to do farmer in the lower part of Jackson county, was arrested for horse stealing and lodged in the Brownstown jail WILLARD was one of the leading members of an organized gang of horse thieves, if nothing worse, and in consequence a strong watch was kept. About 1 o'clock, on Wednesday morning, it was discovered that the jail was a mass of flames. All the prisoners escaped, and it was evident that WILLARD had led in the stampede. The loss of the jail is slight, but the escape of three or four hardened criminals who were confined therein may prove far more serious. Strenuous efforts were being made to recapture WILLARD and the incendiaries who gave him liberty.

EDITORIAL EXCURSION.

CHICAGO, July 7.—An editorial excursion party will start from here next week, consisting besides others of the following gentlemen: Bayard Taylor, of the N. Y, Tribune, Gov. Hawley, of the Hartford Courant, Col. Thomas Knox, of the N. Y. Herald, Mr. Bryant, of Springfield, Mass., Republican, Gov. Bross, of the Chicago Tribune, George Jones, of the N. Y.

It is expected that about one month will be exhausted by this trip. As each of the editors will probably write up the trip for his paper, the public will probably get a large amount of valuable information in regard to the resources of this important section of our continent.

WASHINGTON.

THE WEATHER.

OFFICE OF THE CHIEFSIGNALOFFICER, WASHINGTON, July 7,1 A. M. [Synopsis for the past 24 hours.] The central area of lowest pressure has moved eastward from Iowa since WTednesday night, and is now on Lake Ontario. The pressure has fallen rapidly in the Middle and Eastern States, has rallied Bomewhat on the south Atlantic, and risen on the Gulf coast. It is now rising on the upper lakes and in the northwest. Rain is re ported to-day in Georgia, and rainy and threatening weather after generally pre vailing north of the Ohio, is now confined to Eastern Pennsylvania and eastward, the disturbance being especially severe on the coast. Clear and partially cloudy weather now prevails from Lake Erie to North Carolina, and westward to the Rocky Mountains, with fresh winds from between the southwest and northwest. Probabilities—Clear and partially cloudy weather with light winds, will probably very generally prevail east of the Rocky Mountains, on Friday, cloudy and clearing weather being confined to the New England States. No disturbances are apprehended for our coast, those that are merely local are not considered.

DELINQUENT BANKING ASSOCIATIONS. The disposition on the part of a few National Banking Asseciations to delay sending reports of their respeetive Banks, until the last moment, notwithstanding the Comptroller of the Currency has requested by telegraph to forward their reports immediately, it may be therefore necessary to close the Banks and make official report of the condition of the National Banks without embracing therein the reports of delinquents above alluded to.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION. The Civil Service Commissior. has taken no positive action of any kin-1 yet, but is employed in investigations of the practical workings of the various departments of the Government. From the known views of the members of the Commission it may be safely predicted, that the tenure of office of government employes will not be arbitrarily fixed, since point ments are made, the responsibility each office would be thrown from its chief into the hands of a clerk, who could not be made accountable except in extraordinary instances. The principal question »iiich demands the attention of the Commission, though it may not have arisen in precise form is, "How shall the power or motive to remove one person, for no reason but to create a place for another, be taken away?" With the problem solved, it is generally believed the tenure of office will be regulated by remand of efficient service. What shall be done with the $30,000 postmaster, is one of the practical questions now under examination.

DIED.

Capt. James Nye, brother of Senator Nye, ot Nevada, died in Washington today, after an illness of a fortnight.

COTTON REPORTS.

On special inquiry at the Department of Agriculture to day, it was officially ascertained that there has been no analysis of aotton -and other reports for July, not more than three-fourths of them having been received, and none from Texas ana other distant States.

THE PRESIDENT.

President Grant is expected to reach Washington Monday evening, and return to Long Branch Tuesday night. He will saon thereafter visit Ohio, and other irts of the West, and on the 15th of ugust proceed to California. Dr. Norris, of the army, will, with others, accompany him.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION. The Civil Service Commission to day continued consideration of subjects introduced at previous sessions, especially that of open competition in examinations, in regard to which the commissioners are making extended inquiries as to how well the system works where it has been adopted.

P. M. GENERAL.

Postmaster General Cresswell returned to-day from a visit to Maryland. INDIAN HOSTILITIES.

Letters received at the Internal Revenue Office from Supervisors Foulke and King, report that great difficulty is experienced in collecting revenue in the districts of Arizona and Dakotah, by reason of the hostility of Indians in those Territories rendering travel unsafe. In Dakotah, the steamer Far West, plying on the Missouri river, was attacked by Indians a few days ago, and riddled with bullets.

KU KLUX COMMITTEE.

The Ku Klux investigating committee to-day examined Joseph H. Speed, of Alabama, an ex-Confederate officer and now a Regent of the State University and Superintendent of Education in Perry county. He testified that the section of Alabama in which he resides was quiet and peaceable until last winter, when bands of armed and disguised men began to committ outrages of various kinds. This state of affairs continued for a while, but recently, so far as witness knows, things have been quiet throughout the State. The result of the occurrences above referred to, had been to excite general terror among colored people and make them afraid to vote. In regard to the education of negroe?, he said the only opposition to it came from the lower classes of whites, the former owners of slaves being strongly in favor of a general and impartial education. The committee also examined Alfred Richardson, a colored resident of Clark county, Georgia, and formerly a member of the Legislature. He testified that in January last a band of distinguished men, whom he believed to be Ku Klux, came to his house, fired at and wounded him. He returned the fire, wounding one of his assailants mortally, whereupon they retired. He knew no cause for this attack. Whipping and similar outrages still continue in that vicinity, and have created such terror that many negroes living in isolated places have broken up their homes and gone for safety to towns where they have nothing to do and suffer distress.

THE SANITARY CONDITION OF PARIS.

Dr. W. E. Johnson, a well known American physician in Paris, states that the reports of the mortality in that city have been much exaggerated. The sanitary condition of Paris is satisfactory, and no epidemic prevails. Statistics show that the city is more healthy than London in proportion to population, and the death rate not as great as at the same time last year.

SOUTH AMERICAN CATTLE DISEASE In order to prevent introduction into the United States of the cattle disease known as "hoof and mouth disease," now prevailing in Chili and the Argentine Republic, orders have been issued that no cattle or hides be allowed to enter United States ports from those countries, unless accompanied invoice having the Consul's certificate that he is satisfied the importation is free from dii

NEW YORK.

THE PRESIDENT AT WASHINGTON. NEW YORK, July 7.—The Tribune's correspondent telegraphed from Wash turned to the city this evening, but his coming not having been announced, his arrival was not known except to a few officials, who are in a state of considerable excitement over it, and are making all sorts of conjectures as to the meaning of his unexpected coming. It has leakei out that another source of difference be' tween Secretary Boutwell and Commissioner Pleasanton has been discovered, in Baltimore, and that the Secretary in the exercise of powers which he claims, has sent Supervisor Prestly, of Virginia, to make an investigation. It is also reported that the Commissioner was opposed to the whole investigation, and declim to order the supervisor of the Maryland district to give Dr. Prestly the needed facilities. Of course it is conjectured that the President's visit has something to do with this quarrel, and developments in this direction are looked for." |y

INDICTMENT FOR PERJURY. An indictment for perjury against naval officer Loftin, of this port, has been found by the grand Jury of Herkimer county, and the trial is set down for next week. The circumstances of the case are understood to be these: Some time ago a brother of the naval officer intrusted to the latter a bond for safe keeping. This, it is said, was folded up and placed in an envelop in the naval officer's desk. One day when sending off official documents the naval officer accidentally slipped one of them into the envelop containing the boBd, and the official document and the bond were posted together. The bond could not be traoed for along time, but was afterwards discovered in possession of Taylor, at Herkimer. The owner of the bond, when he heard of this, brought suit against Taylor for its recovery, and the present charge of perjury against the naval officer grows out of the evidence given in the case. The friends of the latter declare that the prosecution is malicious, and say that he desires full investigation. Prominent and influential officers of the court have also telegraphed to the effect that announcement of an indictment does Loftin wicked injustice. ,i.»«

The horse plague has interfered seriously with car travel to-day on East Broadway. The 3d, 6th and 8th Avenue roads do not pretend to run their regular trips, and the Fifth Avenue stages are making theirs at considerable intervals. The disease is increasing.

CHOLERA INFANTUM.

Cholera infantum is prevailing to a great extent in Brooklyn. A NEW FORM OF CHOLERA.

The hot weather has developed a new form of cholera, resembling dysentery and yellow fever in its symptoms. So far three cases have occurred. The symptoms all the same, excessive purging, high fever, bloody discharge, indicative of virulent dysentery, and the black vomit ington last evening that the President rewhich accompanies yellow fever.

CONCORD.

STATE SENATE.

CONCORD, N. H.—The vote in the Senate on the amendments to the act for redistricting the city of Manchester, stood 6 to 6. Senator Smith took occasion in a few remarks to define his position and connection with the bill. Its present lines were represented as unjust, depriving many of their rights, and he was assured it was not to be considered a party question. He did not d«em the bill introduced inte the Senate as remedying the evils existing as well as the amendment offered, and he gave the amendment his support as being geographically right, imposing no burdens and fair to both parties, so he voted with the Republicans.
