THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1870.

Moving tlic National Capital. The convention now in session at Cincinnati, to take into consideration the propriety of moving the Federal Capital from Washington, somewhere else, is at worli. What a body of men assembled for such an object, will do, it is difficult to say, Evidently there is a great speculation in anticipation. No disinterested people care a penny about it. They are satisfied to let the National Capital remain just where it is. II could be removed further from them, tit at would perhaps suit them better.

But what objection is there to the present location of the City of Washington. It is true it is isolated and out of the way, but is not that a circumstance in its favor? The location is sufficiently healthy at least the officials living there are known to bo distressingly long lived. The climate is agreeably pleasant, as much so as most of the parallels on the continent. The access to the city is easy—one railroad being deemed sufficient to transpoit every person who desire to go to and from it.* The public buildings are of the first order, and built on the most extended scale. Hardly any buildings in the world surpass them. It would be an inexcusable blunder to. destroy such buildings, or give them for the habitation of the bats and the owls.

But if you move the capital of the nation from Washington, where are you going to establish it? No community, or city, or people will in good faith, undertake to save the Federal Treasury from expense in removing all the public build ings to a new locality. It they should undertake to to do so, they will violate the undertaking before the matter is half consumated. It is a big thing in dollars and cents, to remove the national capital, and the gentlemen now assembled for the purpose of considering this matter, had better give the financial aspect serious consideration. The people will not be willing to have any of their money squandered in a movement of this kind. There has been no difficulty yet experienced in the history of the government, in securing enough self-sacrificing patriots who are willing to go even to Washington, to attend to public affairs. The only difficulty so far experienced, is, in forcing them to let go the governmental pap after they have tasted its invigorating qualities. They hang on to Washington, like hungry leaches to a well filled vein. One suck secures their services, if the people will only permit it, for life.

It would not do to remove it to New York City, for that would make the metropolis the envy of every other city in the government. It would not do to move it to New England, for in that case the great West would grumble. It would not do to remove it to Cincinnati, for then St. Louis and Chicago would boil over with virtuous indignation. It would not do to remove it to St. Louis, for if you did Chicago would secede, and it would never do to make the great city of the Lake, the Capital of the nation, for in that case she would burst in the extacy of exquisite delight. Then what are we to do? Why, in our judgment, just let the Capital alone where it is.

Tho November Elections.

Most of the elections in the United States now take place in November, on the day upon which the Presidential elections fall. The States which do not vote in November are obliged, every fourth year, to have two elections, one for State officers and Congressmen and the other for Presidential Electors. There is a great.convenience in doing it all on one day. The States which are soon to vote are as follows

November 7—being the first Monday of the month—Arkansas and Louisiana. November S—being the first Tuesday after the first Monday—Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, New Jersey and Wisconsin.

In all these States Congressmen and Legislators are elected, and in some of them Governors, as well as State officers.

Tlie Great City.

Just al)out a million. So says the new census of the population of New York. The official figures are 930,850. What an army of human souls!

To show the comparative growth, take the returns of 1850,1860 and 1870—a period of twenty years. i* ».***. 1850 mso:::::-:::::::::::: 813,000 JS70.., 930,856

The increase between 1850 and 1S60 was very rapid, and between 1S60 and 1S70 comparative!}7 slow. This apparent decrease is not a falling off it is a spilling over. The limits which nature assigned to Peter Stuyvesant's City of Manhattan are now full. There is no more room inside. The surplus of souls must go elsewhere.

By and by what is now the City of New York wilt only be a suburb to its suburbs and there are many indications which, to a careful observer, prophesy that the most populous city in America will one day be Brooklyn.

\n extract from Putnam's for November.

LINCOLN'S PETITIONERS.

A Record from the Executive Chamber. It was the custom of Mr. Lincoln, during the latter years of the rebeilion, to hear petitions, at certain hours 'of the day, from all who chose to present them to him—the formality of an introduction from some member of Congress being the condition on which they entered the Executive Chamber,

The writer of this record pleaded for the discharge from military service of a brother who had entered the army at fifteen years of age. The petition was granted, and the President kindly asked if he could do anything more for her. She asked if she might be present at some of these public interviews,® and write notes of them for publication. lie answered that she could do so.

Of the many hundred petitions she has selected a few only, and has endeavored to present a faithful record of what she actually saw and heard on the occasions described.

All day long President Lincoln had received petitioner*, and still they came. He could hear the murmur of voices in the outer rooms, as they were anxious to be admitted yet he must rest for a few moments. -"Tad, my dear son, goto your mother you must be tired here." "No, no, papa I don't want to go

uow—£

want to stay and see the people."

A*d he forced his hands down deep into his pockets, threw himself on the floor under a writing-desk which stood near his father, and settling his head on a cushion, continued: "Ain't you tired of folks, pa?" II--'

The little bell which the President sounded—a signal for the doors to be opened—remained unrung—and he sat with his hands clasped together and his head drooping forward.

His little son moved softly from the room, returning in a few moments with a sail-faced woman, who had an infant in her arms. The President motioned her to a chair, and she modestly stated that she had come from a town in the far West to plead for the life of her husband, who was sentenced to die in six weeks for desertion. "He ran away from his regiment, then?" "No, sir but they think he did."

The President frowned, and shook his head rapidly from side to side. "Of course, madam, you think that he did not." "Oh sir! oh And she began to cry aloud, the baby joining the chorus.

The President seemed much annoyed, but, turning to her, kindly said "If you can prove to me that your husband did not run away nor desert his regiment, I will have him pardoned, will you go on with your story, and stop your crying?" "How kind you are, sir

A faint smile played upon the President's face, as he answered, "Please go on with your story."

She told him she was dangerously sick, and her husband, hearing it from a com rade, went home, about three miles from the camp. The next day he was seized as a deserter, and dragged away. As soon as she could walk a little, she had gone to the officers to plead for him, but they would not listen to her. She was sick aftei that long walk, and as soon as she could get up again had started for Washington. "It was along and tiresome journey, he said, sympathetically: "Yes, sir but someway, I felt if I could only see you and tell you, that you would believe my story. I have no letters to speak for me, only this one," moving her hand towards her pocket.

The President shook his head. lie was twisting apiece of paper over and over through his lingers. Lifting his eyes suddenly to her lace, he said: "Who isthatletter from?" "It is from a kind minister I asked him to write it. He said you did not know him, and would in all probability not read the letter yet, if it would be any comfort to me, he would write it." "Let me see it."

As he bent forward to take the letter the infant seized his hand. The President patted the little hands and face, and then leaned toward the light to read.

How anxiously the woman watched him! But his countenance gave no indication of his thoughts. He folded the letter carefully slowly he handed it back again, saying: "I am satisfied with it. I believe your storv. I shall pardon your husband

The baby looked upsteadily at him the woman arose, as she exclaimed: "Oh, Mr. President, how can I thank you?" "Take this note to the War Department, and they will give you a paper of release for your husband from the charge of desertion. It will make your journey home more comfortable. Good night." "God bless you!" she answered, and was gone.

The President strnck the little bell, and a tall usher opened wide the door, until the room was filled. Some of these petitioners were insolent beyond human endurance some were silly to excess some were ludicrous in their pompousness, displaying piles of letters of introduction, which.the President would not look at. They would, however, persist in their endeavors to make him look at such letters from such persons.

Tho President soon became exasperated, as he listened to one and another. In vain he shook his head and stamped his feet, and brought his hands violently down upon the table, telling them that he would not and could not listen to such petitions. They, with an assurance never to be imagined, would still go on.

Men with defiant faces, men whining and pleading, and forward women, grasping his arms to arrest his attention. His patience with rudeness was wonderful. If he expressed contempt for affectations, he also did not forget to respect modesty and real sorrow when he met it.

Again the little bell was rung, and again the room was filled. Those who had just gone out, muttered their dislike for the good man who listened from early morning until late at night to people of every grade.

Often tho President was grave to sadness. For hours in succession he expressed no anger, no mirth. Petition after petition was presented in rapid succession. It was the same story of sorrow —of fathers, brothers and husbands in prison, each pleading for theirs to be the first released in the exchange of prisoners. Some had dear ones dying in camp, beyond the lines they were begging to go to them. Hundreds had made the same request. "Oh, let us go to them—only let us go!"

There were bands of poor, oppressed sewing-women stating their wrongs, Peace Commissioners and Southern refugees.

Many times the President started to go to iiis private room but sad faces pressing up the stairway stopped him as he crossed the hall, and he turned and went back again. "Do, kind President grant my request!"

The woman's voice was very plaintive, and large tears were falling, but she made no sound of crying. "No, no, I can not. I can not, good woman—I can not! I might grant such requests a thousand a day. I can't turn the Government inside out and upside over. I can't please everybody. I must do my duty—stern duty as I see it. Nobody wants their friends drafted—nobody wants them taken as deserters. He should not have been absent so long. He should not have taken upon himself the appearance of a deserter. How do I know— how does anybody know—how does the War Department know—that he did not intend to stay upon the boat where the soldiers found him How does anybody know that he didn't think about his furlough being ended Didn't think!

her clothes brushed against h}in. were the lines upon her face—tines and sorrow earnest were the teai-a med eyes. "Do, kind sir, consider my case a moment more—oh, President Lincoln member, you were poor once and and——" "Had no friends, do you mean, he interrupted, almost 'scornfully. "No—oh, no!—had a few friends—tri eel and true friencls, ..who would never loisake you. Only one of them I knovv one, who is alike a friend to you and to me. For his safce-Hor our dear Lord sake—grant my petition!"

There was a striking solemnity hei whole attitude and the President turned pale, his eyes misty, sad, and then

very sadder, ently: "For our dear Lord's sake!" "Here are three hundred dollars was made up by his neighbors. Couldn't you save him from an ignominious death, which he does not deserve?—no, he does not deserve!" "Take back your money cried tne President, throwing away from him her extended hand. "Take it back I do not want it!"

Only an instant his hand and voice were raised, and then he resumed kindly "I shall not have your money, good woman the War Department will not have it. Take it.back where it came from and you shall take back his re lease. Your petition shall be wholly granted." "Oh, President Lincoln believe you arc a Christian. I will pray for you every day with my whole heart." "Ihave need of your prayers I have need of all the prayers that can bo offered forme." "Oh, Mr.-{Lincoln, that is the Christian spirit—that is faith in Jesus! Oh let me hear you say that you believe in Him!" "I do," was the solemn answer, "J believe in my Savior."

And when she arose to depart, the Pres sident also arose, and opened the door for her, and led her through the outer room and across the hall to the head of the staircase, and shook hands, said "good-by," and went back again to receive more and still more petitioners.

sT lie authenticity of these "notes" is vouched for by the writer, whose good faith is well endorsed.

'The Coolie Trade.

The Honolulu Advertiser gives an account of the sufferings of the 60S coolies in course of transportation from Macao to Callao via Honolulu. For three weeks after leaving Macao the coolies were not permitted to come on deck. They were stowed between decks in four rows, two amidships, and one in each wing, a space sixteen inches wide being allotted to each individual. After three weeks' imprisonment the coolies were allowed to come

The Clerical Disgrace.

The scandalous quarrel which has arisen between the reverend Mr. Fulton and the irrevereiid Mr. Tilton is illustrative of the degeneracy of both the pulpit and the religious press. Bothalike, these instruments of good have become agents of evil. The one is extensively prostituted to the passion for notoriety, and the other as extensively perverted to mercenary ends. The notoriety which distinguishes Mr Fulton degrades his calling and-annuls his usefulness. The reckless ness of the New York Independent stultifies Mr. Tilton's pretensions of purity, and places him beyond the pale of public trust and respect. That two such men should fall to quarreling upon a merely personal point, about which the public are wholly unconcerncd is not strange. It is to per sonal consideration, and not to general principles, that their ideas are limited and their efforts confined. Professedly they are champions of virtue practically they are gladiators of vice. Their present dispute is scarcely worthy of public attention, is certainly not entitled to the dignity of judicial adjudication. The ends of justice, of temperance and truth will be fully answered by leaving the sainted combatants, the one to the contemptuous neglect and indifference of a virtuous community, and the other to the admonition that scurrilous abuse is the price of undue notoriety.—Boston •Fbst.

IT would seem that efforts in behalf of peace in Europe are being strongly put forth by England and Austria. It doesn't seem that either of these powers are entitled to much consideration, but it will be gratifying if they only succeed in securing an armistice.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

COL. ALBERT S. ANDREWS died at Marshal, Illinois, last Saturday of rheumatism. At the beginning of the rebellion he enlisted as a private in the, Fifteenth Indiana Regiment, and rose from r^nKto rank till he attained that of LieutenantColonel, and was discharged with tne honorary brevet of Colonel.

A BOY by the name of Bennett, at Richmond, Wis., shot another lad named Lawrence, accidentally, so that he died last week. There was an old ramrod-in the gun, inadvertently left there by the person loading it. Bennett was exonerated from all intention to do injury.

deck in gangs of

50, for one hour, for the purpose of breathing fresh air and taking exercise. Sentries, armed to the teeth, were stationed on the deck, and the coolies were compelled to move around in a lively step by means of the cat o' nine tails. After getting out into the Pacific, the provisions feil short, and one pound of boiled rice and one pint of water per diem were given out to each of the Coolies. Several revolts occurred during the voyage to Honolulu, eighteen Coolies jumped overboard and twenty-five died from disease. Tho odor emanating from the hatches of the vessel, it is stated, caused vomiting and severe sickness. At Honolulu forty-three of these unfortunate coolies were landed, twelve of them being at the point of death. They presented the appearance of the prisoners, at Andersonville. The excitement among the Chinese and the natives at Honolulu was very great, and fears of a mob were entertained. The sick coolies were secreted and placed under humane treatment, and steps were taken for their removal, so that they could not be transported to Callao. The vessel on which these cruelties were perpetrated was the Dolores Ugarte, of San Salvador, measuring 800 tons. About the end of August another San Salvador ship, the Louisa Caruavaro, measuring 1,050 tons, arrived at Honolulu, with seven hundred ooolies aboard. Her trip from Macao occupied fifty-six days, and the coolies were in a healthy condition^ only two deaths having occurred. They were allowed the utmost freedom of action, going below or remaining on deck at will These two cases, it is argued, show that the trade may be conducted humanely or barbarously, according to the liberaliity or parsimony of the contractors i.'7-II

To YOUNG MEN.

This country is being crossed with numerous Railroads from every direction to Sioux City Iowa. Six Railroads will be made to this city within one year. One is already in operation connecting us with Chicago and the U. P. Railroad and two more will be completed before spring, connecting us with Dubuque and McGregor, direct. Three more will be completed within a year, connecting us direct with St Paul, Minn., Yankton, Dakota, and Columbus Nebraska, on theU. P. Railroad. The Missour River gives us theMountain Trade. Ti us it vil be seen that no section of country offers such unprecedented advantages for business, specu« lation and making a fortune, for the country if being populated, and towns and cities are bein^ built, and fortunes made almost beyond belief Every man who takes a homestead now wil have a railroad market at his own door, Am any enterprising young man with a small capital can establish himself in a permanent paying business, if he selects the light location ano right branch of trade.
