AN excess of matter in oar local columns, this morning, compels a reduction of editorial space.
"TOE National Disgust" is what the Savannah, Ga., "Advertiser" calls WOODHULL, CLAPLIN & Co. i'
THE "Journal" goes back on Tammany, and declares it is willing to "step ont of the ring as a defender of thievery.
SOME of the New England papers are worried about an election that they suppose is to be held in Indiana next month.
THERE IS A foaming, frothing, fearful, furious fuss among the Democratic editors in Louisville. Some tesrs, but no blood, may be shed before the fraca^ finally fizzle".
THE people take" 4 Drops."—Ind. Commerdxd. If it's Indianapolis beer your'e hinting at, the quantity named is too large by half, judging from the quality of the article recently shipped to this city.
THE "Journal" is entirely mistaken in supposing that Mr. MUSGROVE wrote the Mississippi letter printed in the EXPRESS of Wednesday. We trust our neighbor will promptly withdraw the statement, for it will be likely to set the Ku Klux upon a fresh victim.
AKDY HUMPHREYS withdraws his name from the voluminous list of Democratic Congressional aspirants, and J. N. CoNi/EY, by his next friend, presents his claims. It will never do for Vigo county to go into the Convention with a multiplicity of candidates. Let us have a caucus and shake ofl'all but oue.
MR. HENDRICKS is rapidly becoming ominent as a Democratic candidate for t!ie Presidency.—Journal.
Only •'becoming" prominent"? That's cool. We thought lie had been "promiAent as a. Democratic candidate for the Presidency" for several years past.
THE "Commercial llulletin,"of Boston, calls for the o-tablishiuent of an artisan school in that city for the education of mechanics. In London the scheme has been most successfully tried and in Philadelphia, although recently introduced, its success lias been equally great on the opening day there we-e accommodations for 260 scholars, and 503 applicants presented themselves.
THERE is to be a perfect flood of editorial oratory in the g-eat Northwest right away. The truly good Deacon Smith, of the Cincinnati "Gazette", is to thunder miscellaneously throughout the length and lreadth of Ohio the virtuous and Civil-Serviceable Joseph Medill, of }he ChiCdgo "Tribune," is booked for a fiery untamed speech in Columbus, and the great and good Horace Greeley, of the New York "Tribune," is to let himself loose upon the unsuspecting yeomarny of the Wabash, nor withhold his tongue till he shall have carried desolation to the farmers of Northern Minnesota.—Chicago Republican.
THERE is an old fashioned virtue, says the "Saturday Review," which often strikes us as very little in favor with the good people of our time, probably because they do not recognize it as a virtue at all and, indeed, it does its work with such a bright face and easy air that among the strenuous, austere brotherhood of duties and merits it may well pass for something else—as a mean and worldly conformity, perhaps. The "Review" has named it Complaisance. It is to be tested and distinguished from its counterpart, or counterfeit, politeness, by its universality and disinterestedness. It was said of Sydney Smith—an example of this virtue—that people could never be too obscure for him to put them in good humor with themselves. True complaisance, never sleeps where there is any body to please or to make comfortable. Politeness, society's method of making things run smooth, is concerned with ranks and degrees. One is pleasing himself, the other fc exerting himself for the well being and content of others.

CONFERENCE AT OASTIEN.
LONDON, August 30.—The Conference at Gastien confirmed the agreement between Prussia and Austria on some important principles of policy. The details of this agreement were arranged in the nature of a treaty, but not a formal treaty Functionaries, whose services would have been necessary for drawing a formal treaty, were not present, thus the secret of the exact terms is better kept. The statement of the policy made -by--the Vienna Cabinet in December last, created a situation between Austria and Prussia Which called for more accurate definitions of their relations than could be secured by exchange of diplomatic notes. The Gastien conference enabled two Chancellors by confidential conversation to reach an understanding exactly as to how the interests of the two powers could be realised to .their mutual advantage, and how their good understanding might be ut:lized dealing together against other powers. The Roumanian railway difficulty has thus received a satisfactory solution in the interest of general peace. This is regarded as a happy augury for the application of a similar joint action in future difficulties. The league maintaining peace means war against any power that can be provoked to disturb the pedce. Russia, knowing the. understanding, makes vast preparations for war.

ft
Mg$m,
The Bishop insists that the first fourteen words of the extract warranted him in the statement that Mr. Cheney would be conveniently absent on the oecasion of his visitation.- The Bishop also, in his reply, gives quite a lengthy account of an interview which he had wiih Mr. Crane, subsequent to the writinof the letter above quoted, from, in which he says that Mr. Crane assured him that Mr. Cheney would be absent. The Bishop also asserts that Dr. Kelly, during the preceding week, came to him to ask his consent to officiate in Christ Churcb on the following Sunday, at the invitation of the wardens: that Mr. Cheney had been to see him, Dr. Kelly, to urge him to do so. D. Kelly replied in substance to Mr. Chene .. hat he could not compromise himself b, any services recognizing Mr. Cheney. To this Mr. Cheney rejoined by declaring that he did not wish any clergyman to be compromised through him with the Bishop that Dr. Kelly would observe that the invitation was from the wardens alone, and he was only the bearer of it that he, Mr. Cheney, expected to be absent, but if by any chance he should be in the church, he would not appear or interfere, but would take his seat in a pew among the congregation. The Bishop also says that during his interview with Mr. Crane, allusion was made to my obtaining possession of the. property, and the embarassment it might entail in the administrating of it, in consequence of its heavy encumbrances and the failure of the income to meet expenses. I ttfok occasion to Correct emphatically tbe utter misconception on that subject, that I had nothing whatever to do with the property as a reality, and would not consent to touch it in any way, if it were offered to be freely conveyed to me even as a trust. I stated that any ecclesiastical action of myself or the diocese must be limited to the simple vindication of ifc right of administration, the cestui que trutt being inalienably in a corporation attached to the doctrine And worship of the Protestant Episcopal churchy tinder the authority of the Constitution and canons of the diocese of Illinois, and subject to the ecclesiastical authority of this diocese. The rest of the letter of Bishop Whitehouse relates to general statement of his rights and duties as Bishop of Illinois, and his design to vindicate them. He says in conclusion, •'yoti:i mast know that the church in my hands will never voluntarially be submitted to such an anomaly, and that any indignity which in consequence may result, must be at you own responsibility alone. Yon may not perhaps appreciate that by this rejection,, the authority of the Bishop and transgressing the laws of the diocese, and setting at naught Catholic discipliner you virtually claim exemption. The church in this diocese of Illinois arrogates an independency which in principle involves the whole. Plant yourself as an isolated body, and thus furnish a proof that cannot" be overlooked. Of malfeasance in the trust of the property corporate, I beg you. to ppnder the weighty words of the Supreme bench. Next to the diffusion of Christian faith and morals, the church has in view the promotion of anion and harmony, and order, and subordination through every part of the great association for whose government they were intended. The separating body cannot'by its own will, nor by assuring an internal organization conforming to the rules and discipline and usages of the Church, nor by placing over it a preacher of its own choice, nor by claiming to be the true and only society of the Church because i])se facto an organized portion of the generel body or Church, until recognized by the proper authority of the Church and that it would stand as an isolated body, unconnected with the general organization and independent of it. It is understood that Mr. Cheney and Mr. Crane will reply to the Bisl^qp.

COMMUNICATION FROM BISHOP WHITEHOUSE. CHICAGO, August 31.—Bishop Whitehouse published in the Tribune this A. M. a column and a half in reply to the re eent communication of the wardens of Christ Church, in which they seek to disabuse the Bishop of the statement he has caused to be made public, that the officers of Christ Church had receded from the position taken by the wlens in their letter to the Bishop, of (he 12th ult., and that they had consented to anahience of the rector from the chancel of Christ Church on the occasion of an Episcopal visitation, and that the candidates prepared by him for confirmation, and by him admitted to the communion, shall be presented for the rite by some other clergyman* In his reply Bishop Whitehouse quotes an extract from the letter of Mr. Crane, Jr., written to the Bishop, naming the day when they would, be glad to receive him at Christ Church. The extract is as follows'. "In the absence of the rector of this parish, the wardens give notice that the Bight Reverend Bishop of this Diocese will hold an Episcopal visitation, and administer ,ihe sacred rite of confirmation in Christ Church, Chicago, on the fourteenth Sanday after Trinity, being the 10th day of September, to meet at the usual hour of morning service, the Bishop having been pleased to change the time from the 13th to the 10th of September." I heg you to believe me, very respectfully, your obedient servaut, Albert Crane, Warden of Christ Church.

COLUHBUS.
SPEECH OF SENATOR THURMAW COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 31.—It having been understood that the reports of Senator Tharman's speech, owing to the lateness of the hour he spoke, were im' perfect, a revised report has been fur nished the Ohio Statesman. He considered first, the claims of the Administra tion to the support of the country, on the ground of having restored the rebellious states to their proper relations to_ the government. So far as the Republican party in Congress have done their work, the effect has been to retard the work of reconstruction. In support of which, he referred to the act compelling the formation of a new Constitution. On the new departure he said: Now 'my friends, it has been common for the Republican party of this country to say that the Democrats have taken a new departure, and that new departure they allege consists in saying that we have been wrong and the Republicans have been right. I say there has never been any such confession as that. We are as much opposed to what has been done as when we gave our votes against it. Why, if I should see a man strike another in an unlawful and brutal manner in the street, throttle him and knock him down and trespass upon his rights, and I should see his wounds and bruises, and see hjim bleeding, should be compelled to say that hc was down And bleeding, but who would call that a confession that the villain who outraged him had done what was proper? (Laughter.) So, when these men throttled the constitution and ruined the peace of the country, when they made the South almost as ruinous as in the midst of war, we remonstrated and opposed them, and now because we can't deny tbat they have done it, because we can't deny that the thing has been accomplished, because we are compelled to admit the fact that the reconstruction laws have been executed, and that amendments to the constitution have been fastened upon us, and are told forsooth that we ad mit the Radicals were right and we were wrong. That's logic for you. The 14th amendment to the constitution was passed We opposed it. Why did we oppose it?. Because it provided that all the people in the United States should be equal before the law? There is not one Democrat from the Ohio river to Canada, not one. in the Unite' States opposed it upon any such groii- h. That has always been the law in O.ao, that has always been the law in the northern States. The Democrats, he said, opposed the fifteenth amendment, because of its disfranchising clause, be cause it disfranchised the men of influence, of. intellect, of education, whose aid was necessary to restore peace to the South. Second, because the language was airibiguousj and was such as would enable an ambitious President and Congress to usurp the power that belongs to the individual States, and to overthrow every one of tlie reserved rights of the people of the States. We were not for it. It is understood that to the ambiguous and loose language of that amendment that the infamous Kti Klux bill was passed, under a pretense of authority, derived from that loose and ambiguous language If this interpretation were correct, the President would have power in the State of Ohio to displace the Governor, dethrone the legislature, turn out pf office our Judges and. .establish martial law from one end of-the State' to' the other, whenever he thinks, or pretends to think it is necessary for him to take martial possession of Ohio, in order to protect the rights of individuals. We were right then in opposing that amendment thus framed and thus phrased. The fifteenth amendment we opposed, because, first, it was a fraud upon the people in the way that the thing was proposed and carried out, and a direct violation of the solemn pledges of the dominant party made in the platform at Chicago. *We opposed it for stronger reason than that. We said it was perfectly monstrous that you should turn over at leat one half of the Southern States to the control of a race, not one in ten of whom could read, much less write and of whom not one in a thousand had the least idea of the government under which he lived, and under which they were now to discharge the duties of lawmakers. If the time should come when they should be educated up to a proper standard, to enable them to exercise the right with intelligence, and to the welfare of the country, we said it would be right. Now what has been the eflect of this in the re constructed States down Sopth? With their preponderance of negro voters the result has been, that they are the worst governed part of God's globe at this day. These States have been delivered over to tbe tender mercies of the carpet-baggers and adventurers of the North, and of the meaner men, the scalawags ot the South, with the negroes in combination with them they govern almost every one of these States. And how do they govern them? When the war ended, these Slates' were prostrated to a degree we can hardly realize. Ravaged by their own armies, as well as ours, the people were prostrate, their currency was worth nothing, thousands and tens of thousands of their farms lay desolate under the scourge of the war. They were ruined in fortune, humbled and prostrate in spirit. That was a time when it behooved us to lake them by the hand and help them up. Just at that time the Republican party, these carpetbaggers and scalawags, took hold of the government in these States.
As to the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery, Senator Thurman said they had never made any objection to it, and that no man could point to any act ol the. Democracy in the Northern States that ever approved of slavery. The rest of the speech was devoted to a review of the finances of the Administration and the Ku Klux act.

Parties searched several days for the je*vels, but without success, and Miss Nilsson gave them up for lost.
Yesterday Mrs. Flynn, wife of a laborer on the railroad, found the gems opposite her door, just outside of De Soto, they having been unearthed by a fractious calf that she had tied to a stake near the railroad track. Miss Nilsson was telegraphed at Newport of the recovery of her treasures, and she replied she would present the Flynn family with $500. The diamonds will be expressed to their owner to-morrow.
