discharge it Notwithstanding this, the United States government, unnecessarily and unsolicited, and in the exercise of a superior and arbitrary power, stepped between the Confederate States and theircreditors. and by amending their organic law provided that 'neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred io aid of insurrection or reoellion against the United States, * * * but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be illegal and void.' But in declaring, at the same time, that the Confederate States, who had created it, should not pay their just and acknowledged liability, the government not only acted unwisely, but committed a stupendous blunder. It not only relieved the guilty party from a just liability, but it was a wanton de structiou of a debt it did not. own, and with which it had no ricbtful concern. In doing so it assumed a fearful responsibility. “The United States should, therefore, have stood aloof and left the contracting parties to adjust their own affairs, without interference on their part, as best they might It follows, if these views are correct, that the effect of this amendment to the Constitution was: First, to extinguish the confederate debt, and secondly, as a consequence, to create anew liability for damages against the United States, measured by the value of the property so wrongfully destroyed. This act of the United States was undoubtedly intended to punish those who. it was supposed, had aided the States 10 rebellion by the purchase of their bonds, and it only adds another noted instance to history where an attempt to injure has resulted in a benefit. “Before I conclude, I will answer a question which was asked by a member of the committee, viz.: What is the amount of the confederate debt? My answer is that I do not know, nor have I sought to know. I deal only with the liability to pay that debt, and not with the extent of it. It was also said here that it amounts to billions. Even so; it does not affect the question here presented. The United States cannot afford to deny an honest liability because it is a largo one, or ask to be relieved from it on that account The amount of it should have been ascertained and the liability measured before the daneerous responsibility was assumed of blotting it out.” MINOR MATTERS. Kffeet of Dilatory Action by Congress -Anxiety Over the River and Harbor Rill, jpecial to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, June 27. —The indicstions now are that every department of the government will have to be kept running by a temporary renewal of the appropriation bills for the current year after the Ist of July. Three only of the fourteen general appropriation bills have been signed by the President. # and it will be many days, possibly wjeks, before the remainder are ready for executive approval. A great deal of anxiety is felt among members on both sides of the House in regard to the probable course of the Presideut with some of the bills. This is especially the case with the river and harbor •ill, upon which the Senate will add appropriations aggregating about $5,000,000 in all In all probability that body will attempt to saddle on to this bill a million dollars for the beginning of the long-delayed work of the Hennepin canal. This is the only way that there seems to be any prospect for securing this important improvement so much needed among the farmers of the West, and, unless it goes on to the river and harbor bill this year, it is in all probability dead for some years to come. Already there is talk of what the course will be in case the President should ▼eto this bill, and it is believed by the friends of the measure that it can pass the House in spite of a veto, if the President undertakes to set his too t down upon it In the Forty seventh Conrress, during the lone session, President Arthur ▼etoed the $19,000,000 bill for a similar purpose, but it was passed in both houses.by a two-thirds vote within tnree days of the receipt of the veto message. Congressmen who, under ordinary circumstances, would vote against the bill may be counted upon in some instances to vote for it, if the President undertakes to prevent its enactment

WTikslilnzton Special. When the message from the Senate announcing the passage of the Fitz John Porter bill was read in the House to-day the Republicans hissed and the Democrats applauded, and General Cutcheon remarked: “C4od have mercy on his soul.” General Cutcheoo, who was the chief opponent of the bill in the House committee on the floor, said this afternoon: “There is not the Mintest prospect of a veto. The President will ?n the bill. It is the only measure on which a Democratic party has been united since the var.” Return of the President. Washington, June 27.—The steam yacht Corsair, bearing the presidential party, arrived here at 1 o'clock this afternoon from her cruise dowu the Potomac river and Chesapeake bay.

Municipal Legislators Who Get Drunk. St. Louis. June 27. — The House of Delegates became indignant last night at the newspaper reports of their preceding meeting, at which an exclusive franchise was granted to the Iron Mountain Railroad Company to build an elevated railroad through the city, and passed e resolution that the reporter who made the charge that the passage of the bili was secured by Gould’s lobbyists be expelled from the floor. A majority of the delegates favored the passage of the resolution, but Mr. Wenzlick, who made such a determined fight against the Iron Mountain bill, did not agree with the others. He said the whole thing was caused by the conduct of some of the mem bers, who came upon the floor of the house in a too-mellow condition, while the bill was under discussion. “Did you ever see any of the members of this house in a drunken condition on the floor 1 ?” interrupted Mr. Pishon. “I did, and I can truthfully state that I have seen as many drunken members on this floor as I have fingers on my right hand.” Disorder followed, but personal encounters were avoided and quiet was finally restored. -- Freaks of Lightning, Halifax, N. 8., June 27.—One of the most severe thunder-storms for years passed over this city to-day, continuing for an hour. Avery heavy rain accompanied it. The topmast of the steamer St. Pierre, lying at the Corbett wharf, was struck by lightning and broken off. The electric fluid crossed the deck, struck the anchor of a schooner and passed on to the water. Four houses in different parts of the city were struck, but none were badly damaged. Lightning struck a fire-plug in Cornwallis street, passed into the ground, and partly tore up the street for two block*. In another street, lightning struck a gutter, throwing cobble-stones all over the roadway. _ Through Mail Fouoh Stolen. Detroit.

COMTE DE PARIS TALKS. His Views of Banishment and a Glimpse of His Home Life. Paris Dispatch to London Times. Juno 10. 1 have just returned from Eu, where I have had the honor of being received by the Comte de Paris. Passing last night at Treport, I found ite population of honest fishermen aghast at the threat of expulsion leveled against the family of the Comte de Paris. As soon as it was known that 1 came from Paris, and intended to go to Eu, 1 was surrounded and questioned as to whether the bill would really be adopted: and on replying in the affirmative I saw the weatherworn faces become still and more gloomy, while the women, as rough as the men, being accustomed to tho hardest toil, shed tears over the fate of cette belle familie. • The Comte de Paris having announced that he would receive me at 10 o’clock this morning, I entered the court-yard just as the mansion clock was striking, and was ushered by the Comte Otbenin d’Haussonville, who was on duty with the Prince, into a small, ground-floor room, where be asked me to wait. It was a small and simply furnished library, adjoining the study of the Comte de Paris, who entered in a few minutes. I thanked him for receiving me, and explained that I had not come to interview him, hut simply to express my sincere sympathy at his being menaced with the bitterness of exile. “Oh,” he replied, “X have no occasion to ask for secrecy in this case more than in so many others. 1 have not to conceal having spoken with you any more than to ask you to conceal it. When I learned at Talavera station that an ex fulsion bill had been submitted to the Chamber, did not think of myself, nor even ot my family; I thoueht of my country. I was a prey to profound sorrow, as I felt that after 100 years of conflicts and discord the era of proscriptions is not over, and that sons of France would again be seen wandering homeless on a foreign soil” “Where do you intend to go, Monseigneur, if, as is expected, the bill as regards yourself personally and the Due d’Orleans is passed?” “I have not yet quite decided; but my leanings are for England. lam receiving from that country so many and such pressing proofs of almost general sympathy, there reach me so many touching letters, even from persons whom I do not know, that it would be difficult for me at presant to choose any other place of refuge. I cannot go to Germany. Austria would remove us too far from our beloved France. I know too well, from an experience which 1 have not had time to forget, what a center of intelligence London is not to be irresistably attracted to it. I have thought, indeed, of Switzeriand, but I can go there afterward, for I have no intention of settling permanently in one spot I do not think of buying a bouse or forming a regular establishment Formerly, in my previous exiles, I bad a fixed residence, because my position was different. I was not the unquestioned head of the royal family of France, and I could await the course of events without any neglect of duty. This state of affairs exists no longer. Ido not entirely renounce the hope of returning to my country, for, even under its present form of government, I cannot believe that this persecution will last forever, and that France will not open her doors to all her children. For this reason Ido not mean to settle anywhere permanently. I shall move about We shall fancy that we are tiaveling, and we shall have a change of scenes without a change of hope.” •Mi being probable that the proposal will be adopted banishing simply yourself and the Duo d’Orleans, and allowing the other Princes to remain on a more or less tolerable footing, will those Princes follow you?” “As to nay brother, I have already distinctly intimated to him my desire that he Bhould remain. As he will have the right of doing so, I am anxious that he should remain if 1 cannot, and that he should reside in this country, whence I am banished. I have already told you that I do not .intend to settle anywhere. I cannot require him to move about with me and to regard as his residence the place in which I may live, according to circumstances or to my preferences. It will be a consolation for me to know that he is here, and I know too well his affection for me not to exert my authority and make him stay in France. There has been much talk of the Due d’Aumale, and when he knew in what way he had been defended from inclusion in the banishment he was much pained. He accordingly lost no time in coming to see me and having the fact announced everywhere. This was the best way of replying to to this explanation of his stay in France. I will say of him what I have said of the Dno de Chartres. I cannot inflict peregrinations on him. He has not, like me, the duties of the exceptional situation in which this law places me, for it gives me so exceptional and distinct a situation that if 1 had assumed it myself it would have been imputed to me as a crime. In severing me from the rest of my family I am classed more formally than I have ever classed myself, and if my pride exceeded ray patriotism I could not but be delighted at it. As to the other princes, they have never figured in politics, and have confined themselves to the desire to serve their country. It is therefore fair that they should be left untouched, and it would be strange if I showed them greater harshness than our adversaries have shown them.” * * * At this moment it was announced that lunch was ready on the first story, on which is the dining-room. Besides the Comte and Comtesse da Paris, there were at table the Due d’Orleans, Princess Helene, Princess Isabelle, the Comte and Comtesse d’Hausson ville and their daughters, Dr. Gueneaude Mussy, the inseparable and faithful friend of the family; M. Emanuel Bocher, the sou of the Senator, who lias always defended with so much eloquence the cause of the Orleans family; M. Froment, the tutor of the young Due d’Orleans, and another friend of the household, whose name escapes me. The young Due d’Orleans is seventeen years of aee. He has grown much of late years. His face is intelligent and full of resolution and vivacity, and his dark eyes look you full in the face with manly frankness. He has a resolute and decided disposition. He is an indefatigable walker, an excellent fencer, swimmer and rider, and a remarkable good shot. He 6peaks correctly and fluently four or five languages. Although he is not a great enthusiast for literature he has a liking for Virgil and Horace, and is sufficiently at home in French contemporary literature and history to take an intellicrent interest in conversation of the most varied kind. Princess Helene is fifteen years old, and, like all the children of the Comte and Comtesse de Paris, is tall and slim. Her countenance is charming, with a smile full of grace and kindness. She has a very clear complexion and light hair falling round an animated face. The little Princess Isabelle is eight years old. She is an attractive child, with a chubby face and light hair cut short over the forehead, but failing in long golden ringlets down the back. She speaks English fluently, aud exercises an indescribable charm by her refined manner, intelligent eyes and amiable smile The Comte de Paris has two younger children—Princess Louise, who, being only four years old, does not appear at meal time and is doted on by all, and the last comer, a boy of two, said to be very robust. While I regarded this family, so united, unostentatious, cordial and gifted, ia a secluded, peaceful abode, and on reflecting that at the Palais Bourbon preparations were then being made to drive it from its country and render it homeless, a pang seized me, and, as though all present had the game feeling, there was a deep silence. The master of the house, struck by the sadness visible on every countenance, gave a signal to the Comptesse de Paris, seated opposite him, and all rose. We went down into the Prince’s study, looking out on the park—a simple room, where, behind two writing tables, placed alongside, some portraits, keepsakes, and drawing are arranged on stands. One of these drawings, from the hand of the new Duchess of Braganza. reproduces in a bouquet formed of a blue corn flower, a white rose, and a red curnation the verses of Coppee on the three French colors. The words are in the handwriting of the Duchess Amelie herself. It is, however, in the name of the tricolor that her parents are about to be exiled. As I was about to leave my entertainers the young Due d'Orleans came up, and taming his penetrating glance toward me, he said: “M. At Freycraet has no son. has he?” “No, Monseigneur. You mean, no doubt, that if he had he would not have liked to bequeath to him the remembrance of his law of ostracism.” “Just so.” College Student Badly Beaten.

To the Editor of the New York World: In yesterday's World appeared a communication calling attention to John Brown's grave in the Adiroudacks. complaining of its “gross neglect” by “an association of old Abolitionists” who“have apparently forgotten John Brown’s existence," and appealing to the public for “the erec’ tion of a monument during the present season.’ As an owner of John Brown’s farm, at North Elba, I protest against any such appeal. One story is good nnti! another is to' 1. Some years ago, when camptng out in the Adirondack*. I made a pilgrimage to John Brown’s gr.."e and learned that the barren farm of 244 acres was for sale. The homestead of “the gamest man Governor Wise ever knew" andgthe burial-place of a hero postessed singular interest for mo. The price of the farm was $2,000, more than I could afford to pay. On returning to Boston I appealed to “old Abolitionists," wiio,according to your correspondent, own the property, but pleaded in vain. Mrs. Rooert C. Waterson and myself were the only subscribers to the fund. Not to be defeated, I wrote to Mr. Isaac H. Bailey, of New York. On receipt of my letter this gentleman put on his hat, went into the street and in fifteen minutes raised SI,BOO in eighteen subscriptions, among the generous donors being Henry Clews, H. B. Clafln, John R. Williams, George Cabot Ward, Isaae H. Bailey, Sinclair Tousey, etc. Thus was John Brown’s grave rescued from the auctioneer's hammer. The farm-house has been let for a small sum, and when Southern negroes emigrated to the West the amount of money accumulated from rents was given to John Brown, jr., to help the negroes in their exodus. 1. for one, ha,ye never forgotten John Brown’s grave, and if 1 have not visited the farm since its purchase it is because of inability. As for “gross neglect," there can be none, because John Brown was bnried by his own request at the foot of a huge bowlder, upon which his name is inscribed. What more fitting monument for so grim and sturdy a soul? Your correspondent would have an “iron monument" substituted for John Brown’s grand old bowlder! “Ansels and ministers of grace defend us!” Nevor. with my consent, will any such insult be offered to John Brown’s memory. I presume, ns the farm is private property, its owners uiay say what shall and what shall not be done with it. The best way to show John Brown respect is not to spend money on a hideous “iron monument,” bnt to help the negroes to help themselves. I believe several millions are still unable to read and write. It has lone been my desire that John Brown’s farm should be the center and nnclens of a great Adirondack park. I hope that time is not far distant Katk Field. Newport, R. L, June 22.

HOME THE MEDIUM. Some of the Features of His Very Remarkable Career. Springfield Republican. Daniel Duulass Home, by far the most remarkable and famous of Spiritualist mediums, is dead in London at the aee of fifty-three. It is but a few years since his reported death brought forth elaborate notices of hie extraordinary career from all the newspapers of the country, *nd it is not necessary to do more than recall some of the more salient features of It. He was born in Edinburg, March 20. 1833. and came to America when nine years of age. He had visions when he was fourteen, and was first exploited as a medium in this city three years later, under the especial encouragement of the late Rufus Elmer. It was then the height of the excitement over the new manifestations of the rappings, table-tippings, etc., and all of these attended Horae. There is no species of the phenomena which has not been shown inits perfection through his exceptionally sensitive organization: and many originated with him. Among the most marvelous of his peculiar powers were the levitation, or uplifting of his body by unseen forces, the lengthening or shortening of his body to the extent of a foot or more, the handling of fire without harm, and both clairvoyance and clairaudience to an unrivaled degree. Men of credibility in matters have testified to seeing him taken up, carried out of a window on the third floor over the street and brought floated in, feet first, at another window. Lord Lytton was one of the witnesses to bis handling of burning coals. Home has been the euest and intimate companion of princes and nobles, of the finest literary people of England and indeed of Europe; he has been expelled from Rome by Pope Pius IX for communion with the powers of evil; he has received the gift of a wealthy Englishwoman’* entire fortune, and been compelled by law to restore it, and he had at one time a great influence over Mrs. Browning, and afterward Mr. Browning made him the subject of his worst poem, a scathing exposure called “Sludge, the Medium;* he has been twice married, each time to a Russian lady of rank, by the first of whom he had a son born in 1859, and he has been the subject of a vast amount of description, speculation, and extravagant admiration. He has published in London two autobiographical books, each entitled “Incidents of my Life.” and it is said that a third volume is in manuscript. He has been subject to sudden deprivations of bis mysterious powers at times, sometimes for years together, and during these periods his health would become almost normal. For about two years he has been a mental and physical wreck.

An Undertaker’s Experience. Philadelphia Press. '•l’ve just returned from the house of a youne married inan who died last night,” said an undertaker, “and his weeping wife told me she wanted his coffin made large enough to hold his gun and game bag, because he was so fond of shooting.” “I suppose you have a great many such queer reqnets,” remarked a listener. “O, yes. It was only about a month ago that a mother, frenzied with grief, when I was about to put the lid on her daughter’s casket took from a closet a satin ball dress and insisted upon having it used as a cover for the corpse. “Then, some people want favorite books, letters. Bibles, pictures, and such things buried with their dead. It seems to soothe their anguish to some degree, and you have to humor them. The queerest thine of the kmd happened to me just after I went into the business. It would have been lauehed at on a minstrel stage, but in a house of grief had to be tolerated with solemnity. The ten-year old boy of a poor woman had died of fever, and 1 was engaged to bury him. Her neighbors had all gathered down-stairs. I went up to a6k her if there was anything more I could do, and she handed me a little bundle, saying: ‘Please put this at the foot of Johnny’s coffin. They are a pair of his old pantaloons, and the first I ever whipped him in/" Drawing the Line, The Theater. I have been told a funny story about Bret Harte’s visit to Cohasset, some years ago. He went there to write his “Two Men of Sandy Bar,” and was complaining to Lawrence Barrett, who was living there at that time, that he had not been complimented by a single attention since his arrival—not a soul had called upon him. Mr. Barrett thereupon deplored this lack of courtesy on the part of the inhabitants, and added: “I can say the same of myself.” He was newhat surprised when Mr. Harte replied: * well, that is to be expected, you know—yon' ily an actor.” I understand that Mr. Barrett id not feel well the rest of the day. A Boss Town. Wall Street News. “I thiuk Pll go to Peoria, III," he remarked to a friend, as they took a seat in the car to cross the bridge. “Chance for a spec, out there?’ “Looks that way to me. When a bank out there permits its cashier to get away with SIOO,000, and for two long weeks sticks to it and believes that the bank really owes the cashier $32. there must be a delightful business looseness in that town which will eoable the right sort of a man to soon own a home and keep pigs and cbickena” She Entertained the Visitors.

Bnrdctte, In Brooklyn Eagle. Many of the apostles were fishermen, my son, bnt you can read the Bible through and through and never find where one of them fills up s chapter of 1,500 words telling how it took him four hours and a half to land a ten-onnce tront with a nine-ounce rod of split bamboo. Indeed, th*** largest fish story in the Biblo was told by a man who, so far as we know, never caught a fish in his life, bnt was rather taken in by one the first time he went to sea. Th'e same rule holds good unto this day. The man with the smallest string tells the biggest story. Post-Mortem on a Rhinoceros.
