Gov. BOOTH will be inaugurated at the Capiial of California to-day.

IMPOSING Radical demonstrations are creating a commotion in England. Sir CHARLES DILKE is energetically follow ing up the work which he began some time ago.

A SECOND and supplementary letter from the Indianapolis "Journal's" special correspondent with regard to the recent Clark County Horror*, will be found on the second page.

THE Chicago ''Republican" charges that the Relief and Aid Society of that city have been rqnandering money so recklessly that they are beginning to feel approaching famine.'

WASHINGTON CORKISPONDENTS say that the Senate wished the CATACAZY correspondence kept-eecret for executive session, but by one of CAMERON'S blun' dera it was allowed to go into the hands of the correspondents.

LABEL a man as "radical," and the EXPRESS will swallow him without pinning his ears back.—Journal.

Label a man "Democrat," and the "Journal" might be able to swallow an «ar—if the body were pinned back?

THE appointment of our Hoosier General, SHANKS, to the chairmanship of the Indian Affairs Committee, is highly commended. The name is certainly suggestive of a recognized necessity growing out of the roving habits of the noble aboriginees.

SOME men deliberately killed a lot of Chinamen, in California, the other day, but none but Chinamen witnessed the murders. Hence, under the brutally pro!criptive laws of that State, the murderers are discharged! "Is our civilization a failure?"

IT APPEARS that even the Sullivan county Democracy are in favor of postponing the State Convention till "something turns up." When demoralization

tpervades

the garrison of that old Demo

cratic fortress, the party certainly is in a tbad wav.

A WASHINGTON SPECIAL, says the situation concerning AKERMAN is about this: The President and several in the Cabinet would be well pleased if he should resign, but of this there seems to be. little present probability, though he has had several plain hints.

THE Supreme Court of Indiana has decided that whites and negroes may not marry.—Journal.

If neither "whites" nor "negroes" are to be permitted to marry, the boon of conjugal felicity will be monopolized by the Heathen Chinee! What a barbarous Supreme Court we hare! »m» -ENABLING acts providing for the admission of Utah as a Stale into the Union have been drawn up, and will be introduced in both Houses before the :recess. They will provide that from and rafter the admission of Utah, marriages •Bhall be governed according to the laws •of the United States, but that marriage (relations, as now existing in that Territory, shall not be disturbued.

THE Iindianapolis "Evening Journal" vevaves the charge that the editor of :the Terra Haute "Journal" dined with ttibe fit ate Printer. Is our Indianapolis colemporary aware of theWact that the accusation which he makes has been indignantly denied by the accused, and branded as "slander?" The relations existing between the "Sentinel" and the "dead issues" organ, of this city, are not such as would be likely to result in happy reunions around the festive board.

THERE are some portions of the Secretary of the Navy's report that are not flattering to our national pride. For instance, Mr. ROBESON of a large proportion of our vessels, including pretty nearly all of those that would be effective against the newly-constructed navies Of •the Powers of the Old World, that their 'usefulness is passing or has passed away, and that the cost of repairing them would be entirely out of proportion to the :result to be obtained, either of service or endurance. He further says that unless something is done to replace them our cruUing navy must soon pass out of existence as an arm of our national power.

THE National Board of Trade, in session at St. Louis, appears to be one of those benevolent bodies—of which the country ha* quite a number—whose object is to cut out work and prepare raw material for Congress to operate on. If our Board of Trade hadn't been cut off in the lovely bloom of early adolescence,—if it hadn't been "gathered to its fathers" before it was old enough to know who its father was,—we might now have delegates among the garrulous millionaires, whose weighty words worry the telegraph between St. Louis and the rest of the habitable world.

A SHOCKING DEGREE of levity charao, terizes the Indianapolis "Journal's" allusions to Mr. HANNA'S solemn address, recently launched upon the astounded universe through the lower Main street organ. It is becoming painfully evident that Mr. FISIIBACK is lamentably deficient in veneration. Witness this cruel sneer:

We confess onr inability to follow Mr. Hanna into the field of theological controversy, where he smites his adversary hip and thigh, and shall content ourselves with the remark that he manifests a familiarity with the practices of the "ancient Levites." the "Koran," the "stale tenets of the Apostles," and Alvord's favorite game of "faro," that is simply admirable.

WHEN MR. VOORHEES gets to Washton (and, by

the way,

the country is really

suffering now by reason of his absence from his seat in the House,) he will lay his prescription before a Democratic Congressional caucus,fand we shall soon know if things are going to be fixed np by a special national convention.

What Catacazy Did.

There are in the Catacazy correspondence several instances given of his attempts to use the press to stir up trouble between the United States and England, One instance of this is as follows: Some time before the final conclusion of the treaty of Washington, a long letter appeared in the "World" newspaper, purporting to give the Emperor's instructions to Catacazy concerning the Eastern question and reported alliance of England and the United States, and the object of the entire letter was to place obstacles in the way of settling the Alabama c'aims. The day after this letter appeared in print Catacazy visited the State Department, called Mr. Fish's attention to it, and disavowed all responsibility for it. The department subsequently ascertained that it had been furnished to a correspondent of that paper by Catacazy himself, and that after the notes were written out the manuscript was, at Catacazy's request, submitted to him for revision.— TFuftA.

ATEST FROM ALL POINTS

FRANCE. A DEMAND.

1 ARIS, December 6.—President Thiers has demanded of the Holy See, at the request of Bismarck, the recall of Prince de Chigialboni, the Papal Nuncio in this city.

OFFICIALLY PROMULGATE®. The appointment of Jules Ferry as Minister to the United .States is officially promulgated.

NAVAL ORDERS.

PARIS, December 7.—The Figaro newspaper says orders have been sent to Cburbourg and Brest to have vessels prepared for cruising about the coasts of France. The Figaro represents that these naval precautions are taken to prevent what it calls "Another Return from Elba."

PRESIDENT THIERS' MESSAGE. VERSAILLES, December 7.—The message of Thiers was received in the Assembly to day and read. It announces that the British Government has been notified of the intention of France to abrogate the treaty of commerce at the stipulated time but France will not discontinue negotiations for a re arrangement of her commercial relations with Great Britain. The deputies are warned never to forget to what depths of wretchedness the Empire had led the country. France should now look for complete reorganization, to God, and to time. It was her policy to endure dignified peace. Should war'occur, despite her determination to remain at peace, it should not be her deed. France must resume the position to which she waa entitled, not only for her own good but for the interest of all nations.

France sympathizes with the Pope in the maintenance of his spiritual independence, and will, in case of need, give the Holy Father a vigorous support. The utmost cordiality is manifested toward Austria for whose prosperity"^ fervent hope is expressed. The relations between France and Russia, says the President, are those of reciprocal interest. Thiers deplores the indebtedness of the country, but says it is due to the machinations of Enperor Napoleon. The President advocates the establishment of a general compulsory military service in war time, and proposes a limitation of the annual contingent to thirty thousand men in time of peace. The message concludes with an expression of confidence in the patriotism of the Assembly.

A PROTEST.

BUCHAREST, December G.—The Romanian governmec has received a protest from Constantinople against the conclusion of the treaty with Russia, made two years ago. relative to consular jurisdiction, on the ground that it is in viola lion of Paris.

BOARD OF TRADE.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 7.—The National Board of Trade continued its session this morning. Constitutional Amendments were adopted allowing one additional delegate to each three hundred-members added to local boards, and appointing the third Tuesday in October as the time for the annual meeting of the Board.

Hon. John Young, of Montreal, President of the National Board of Trade of the Dominion, was presented to the meeting and welcomed by the President, who expressed the hope that from this fusion of the Commercial elements of the} two countries, some proposition will be adopted and sent to the governments of both countries that will tend to the promotion of a thorough commercial alliance and such as will meet with the unanimous approval of both countries and a political annexation.

Mr. Young warmly responded, arguing in favor of free interchange of commodities between the the United States and Canada.

A resolution, proposed at the last annual meeting, asking Congress to guaranteethe bonds issued by the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas to the aggregate amoust of two hundred millions, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of leveling the banks of the Mississippi river within their limits, was taken up and discussed at considerable length by Wm. M. Burwell, of New Orleans Monroe, of Dubuque X)pkyke, of New York Wetherill, of Philadelphia Edward Atkinson, of Boston, and others. The original resolution was amended so as to lay a tax on the counties within the limits proposed to be reclaimed.

Mr. Wetherill said the State of Arkansas was pledged already to a debt of eleven millions of dollars,, and he was opposed to saddling them with an additional debt of five millions.

Mr. Lee Shryeck, of St. Louis, said the question ultimately was this: that not only should the States of Arkansas and Mississippi be. redeemed from the loss caused by the war, but the whole country should be benefitted. When the government can see herself clear she ought to step forward and grant her aid in producing of the great staple of these States.

Mr. Atkinson, of Boston, said he had learned that this was not an act of private benevolence, nor to help in the navigation of the Mississippi river, but an act to put the government in the cotton business. It was a question among scientific men whettfer the system of levees was the right system to pursue, whether it did not tend to fill up the mouth of the Mississippi and obstruct navigation. He therefore moved to strike out all that portion of the resolution that referred to bonds, so as to ask the assistance of Congress whenever these States shall be ready to proceed with this work.

Mr. Stewart, of St. Louis, did not doubt that navigation will be benefitted by the construction of these levees. Cotton, sugar, rice and the other stables of that country cannot be raised to as good advantage in another portion of the South, as oir these lands which are proposed to be reclaimed and which were reclaimed before the war.

Mr. Opdyke, of New York, thought Congress was justified in assisting in the construction of these levees by the pres ent stale of the case and by the uniform past conduct of the government.

Mr. Ropes, of Boston, thought there was something monstrous in the overflow of these crevas«es, but did not believe the enterprise possessed of such a National character that the Board could bring it before the Government. He believed it should be referred to a committee whfr could pre ent the proposition before them in such a shape that all could vo for it.

Mr. Baiton Abie, Of St. Louis, «aid the system was not destroyed during the war as had been stated, but was

inaugurated

many yenrq ago. The system wa.- good really, being nearly brought to perfection hen the warcauie on. lletoie the war the levees were subject to OVPI flow, but the people were able lu mpair the loss. The war took'way this power. Almost the entire country south of Memphis is subject to overflow at any moment, and he asked in all justice, why the Government should not direct its aid to a country so rich and beautiful as this is.

Mr. Atkinson, of Boston, then offered a substitute, asking that such improvements as may be necessary, shall be considered a fair subject of legislation by Congress, whenever these-States or any one of them -shall provide by law for the levying of the hanks of the Mississippi, within their respective limits. Lost.

On motion of Mr. Ropes, of Boston, the whole subject was referred toacommittee of three to report to-morrow morning. The Chair appointed Messrs. Ropes, of Boston Burwell, of New Orleans, and Cook, of Cincinnati. The resolution as referred, asks Congress to aid in the pres ervation of the sugar and cotton lands subject to overflow by the Mississippi river, and in the navigation of said river whenever it is convenient that such aid can be advantageously extended.

The Chair appointed Wetherell, of Philadelphia^Cook, of Cincinnati Burwell, of NetPDrleans Cpdyke, of New "York, and Kirtland, of Buffalo, a committee to report a memorial to Congress, setting forth such amendments to the law of July 14, in reference to direct importations, as may be necessary to the carrying into effect of all the act referred to.

Adjourned till to morrow morning.

A PAIR OF THIEVES!

Robbing the U. S. Treasury

Rascals Brought to Grief!

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The discovery of Marden's defalcation has developed other frauds of large amounts in the Treasury department. The books show that by means of abstractions at various proceeds within about two years, over $50,000 has been stolen from the government in the cash room of the Treasury, the offender being Marder, whose thefts has been already alluded to and Seth Johnson, interest teller. The detection of Marden led to the discovery of Johnson's guilt. The latter, it is said, has been dealing in gold and stocks and has lost heavily for some time. There seems to have been no collusion between them neither know of the crime of the other. Both were discharged from the Department to-day and taken into custody.

MISSOURI.

GOV. BROWN'S MESSAGE AGAIN. ST. LOUIS, Dec/7.—Governor Brown's message was read to the Legislature today. Some of its principle features, not already mentioned, are as follows: He thinks the most effectual remedy for corruption and incapacity in office is in the executive appointments only in cases of emergency and to refer other selections to the people. He says the greatest incubus now resting upon the people* of Missouri, is found in taxes and duties, direct and indirect, levied by the United States. They amount to much more annually than all our other taxes put together. They do not yet go into the National Treasury, but are spent largely in collection or are put into the pockets of favored classes. The bonded deb't of the State is $17,866,000. The assessed value of all taxable property in the State $577,000,000. Total receipts into the Slate Treasury for the past year $3,572,941. Disbursements $2,725,759, ot which $826,336 was on account of interest, $1*252,732 on account of State government, $85,001 on account of sinking fund, $337,459 for schools. Balance in treasury $847,182. The county, township and municipal indebtedness amounts to nearly $41,000,000the larger portion being for railroad subscriptions. The total county school fund is $3,507,084. Whole number of schools 6,164, of which 210 are colored. Whole number of children taught 323,164, and the whole number of children in the State between the ages of 5 and 21 years 627,203. Number- of miles of railroad built in the State on the 1st of January, 1871, was 1,980 number of rnilen in course of construction 797. Capital invested in these roads $117,548,317.

The Governor discusses the national political situation at great length. After reverting to the material welfare of the State and congratulating the people on its prosperity, hesaya: It is equally asource of congratulation that its political influence has been signally enhanced by the wise courses of conciliation so emphatically initiated by our last election. The advent of liberalism to the administration of the State has reconciled the resentments of war, confirmed absolute freedom to all, evolved anew the principle of self-government acting through local organizations, established a purer civil service instead of that compelled by the slavish ways of parties and incited the youthful energies of a new generation to compass the great destinies of the future lather than rehabitate itself in the dead issues of the past. He then enumerates what liberaliRts has done, and draws a lengthy distinction between the Republican idea and the idea which he says has been foisted upon the Republiean party. In the discussion of this distinction, he makes a powerful arrangement of the administration party and policy as a perversion of Republican ideas and high treason to Republican principles One of his closing paragraphs is as follows: The attempt to establish, by force of martial law, a civil society that would accord with the superior government never has been and never will be a succesp. At present it is not a success at the South in the past it was not a success at the North, and the teachings -of'76 illuminate the failure of a century later. There is latent in the reconstructed states, as elsewhere throughout the Union, much of that sentiment which finds expression in devotion to local treedom a sentiment exaggerated into wrongful secession under the pliant passion of the slavery controversy, but one which, in the absence of slavery, mav be channeled back into the surest sa eguard for the equal freedom of all. It is in

It is partly because this is assailed and sought to be supplanted by outward force alone that so little advance has been made by the government in its ostensible reconciliation. The same re suit would follow in other States on any other question thus engineered and it is worthy of note by Republicans as well as Democrats that every party which has passed from power since ihe foundation of the government has lost the confidence of the people, because of the attempt to unduly exact the national above the local freedoms and to strain the national power to ends for which it was never designed by methods repulsive to the common thought, and the result will only add another to the list, for it is a great mistake to suppose that northern men do not recognize this fatal blunder or that they demand a continuance of the method of madness. In this behalf trade has been wiser than politics, and it is even true that love is stronger than hate.
