LETT Kits from St. Petcrsliurg state that a vast con-piracy lias been discovered against the life ol the CV,.i~. 1.lie center of action of tlie con-|irators was ilie city of Odessa. The pupils of the University Papich and Yeremichew ae p.'ineipally inculpated, in order to carry out their object the conspirators had resolved to tear up the rails of the line during tl.e journey of the lCmpero.' from Odessa to St. Petersburg but the rigorous surveil lance exercised ovc the whole line the Czar was to use prevented theni ii'oni cxoculing their project.
As Tine Fifteenth Ainondment is soon to be n. part of the Constitution, it may be well to refresh the memory of our readers bv its reproduction. TIcie it is.

Now, in all candor and sincerity, we ask, is there anything wrong in that? If so, will some opponent point it out?
N THK New York Tribune correspon dent's skctchcs of the National Sena'.e and House we find the following: "What ,•tfo of.en hoar remarked is true, I think —there never has been a Congress of tiie-e United States numbering so few brilliant men. After counting oil' a few names, the representative body seems to lie at a democratic dead level of respectability. In the Senate the moral tone is is undoubtedly higher than of old it

Tut". Chicago Journal is gratified to Uple the fact that the pen-ion agitation goes on, and is likely ttM'esult in seeming the needed reforms. 'I he postal plan meets with very general favor. The pension s" agents, who would lind their occupation gone if this plan was adopted, are, of course, working hard to get Congress to pass some halt-way measure, leaving the system and them substantially as at picsent. The advantages of paving through the Post Ollice, both to the Government and to the pensioners, are so great, however, that Congress can hardly resist the demand for radical reform.
THE St. Louis Drmoenit, alluding to a call made upon the President the other day in the interest of Washington real estate holders, declares that Mr. Corcoran, the eminent rebel banker, and Col. Fornev, the eminent editor of "two papers, both daily" and weakly, too, aic impertinent to be boring the President of this nation about the price of their corner lots. The people have sent him to "Washington, not to devote his time to the private affairs of the real estate owners of that town, hut to look out for the enforccment of such laws as Congress may make, and we are persuaded that he means to do that very thing, and to let Washington Citv, the District of Columbia, and the national paupers, take their chances in such legislation as the repre^eniatives of the people may please to enact.
THE boast so often heard that '"the foot of no slave presses any portion of the soil over which waves the star-spangled banner is more grandiloquent than truthful. From statements before us we have reason to believe—what we have heretofore hinted at—that slavery, in its worst form, exists among the Chinese in Calilorma, and women are openly bough! and sold there for the worst of purposes, the claims and contracts of their owners being enforced by the courts of the

of this
city, insinna es that thereare very improperly in imate lelations between Senator MORTON and the EXPRESS. In common with ihe Republican press of tlie country we have often found occasion to command the comprehensive and far-reaching statesmanship of Senator MORTON. It has frequently happened that he has been the able advocate of views and principles that we have urged, and the same coincidence—certainly not remarkable—willbe likely to happen again. But it is also within our recollection that we have seen fit to dissent from his opinions and to advance tho-e of a very different character, This, too, may occur again. It certainly will occur whenever the Senator gives utterance to views upon public measures to which we cannot honestly and consistently,, assent. The
scribbler does not seem to
understand that it is possible for a party paper to do anything upon its own motion, but holds to the time-honored rule of the Democratic press that it is unsafe to say or do anything not set down in the programme by parly leaders. Republican journals are not the month-pieces of Republican leaders and Republican journalists have not put on the livery so cbee'fully worn by their Democratic b-ethren. ,It is perfectly proper for the Jnurua' to .ieeze whenever BEI.MOXT or VOOKHKKS lakes a pinch of snuff. That is "Democratic." 15ut the KXI-KESS holds no public man above the free criticism of the press.
THE Boston Daily
'Times
brings us a
report of a singular case that has just been dccided in Naples, by the Duke d'Ossuna, who is looked upon as "a second Daniel come to judgment." Averyiich and bigoted citizen died and left his property to a convent of monks, with a proviso that the brotherhood should give his son, a deserving young man, what part they liked. The monks took possession of their legacy and offered a very Miiall portion to ..lie rightful heir but instead of accepting tlie youth carried the e^e before Ossuna. Having licaid both sides ot the matter he turned to the magistrate who administered the will and staled his sur prise iliat a man so famous as a lawyer should have so wrongly interpreted the le.
of the testament, which ordained that the monks j-hould give the testator -on the part they liked. When they offered him forty thousand dollars and proposed to retain the two hundred and ten thousand remaining, it was quite plain iha. the greater sum was the pari they liked coii-equen'lv the monks were ordered lo carry out the terms of the will and
pav
the amount they preferred to the
testator's heir. And it was so dccreed.
IN TJIE local department of Monday's Journal appeared half a column of vile personal abuse of Senator MOKTON. Here is a sample of i.: "Morton, not content with being physically disgraced, seems resolved and_determined ihat his morals shall suffer in a like manner. Not satisfied with letting himself down to the level of the negro, he is striving, with all his debased intellect, to drag the State of Indiana down to the same disgraceful level.*
There is no better indication of the ability and worth of any public man than his unlimited abuse in such sheets as the Journal. Its praise would be felt as a reproach, and would be simply loathsome to anv man who desired to stand well in the opinion of the respectable and lionable portion of the community. Taking this view of the subject—and we sincerely believe it is the correct one—we regard such liltliy emanations as the above as creditable to their object. They prove that the Senator has done something to enrage that class of journals and politician! who.-e condemnation always wait on honorable acts of honest men, and whose praise is ever ready for the base deeds of base men.
Not a soldier or patriot, since the first powder was burned in the late Democratic rebellion, has gone down to bis honored grave without passing through a course of unremitting abuse, seasoned with the vilest epithets, from such
as the Journal, lhcic is not
hero's grave in all the land oil which those sheets have not belched their filth. From A nit.vit
AM LINCOLN to the hum
blest Private scldier who ever shouldered a musket for the defense of his country, not o..e of the men who suppressed the rebellion, cut out from the body politic the foul ulcer of slavery (dearest idol of Democratic adoration) and gave the Republic the priceless boon of universal liberty—not one of all this host of blessed martyrs has escaped the curses and venomous assaults of the cJUs of "newspapers" to which we allude.
Senaior MORTON is, therefore, honored when he receives the same tribute they gave to LINCOLN, STANTON, MCL HERSON and their glorious compatriots whom the people loved the moredoarlv, and will remember the
more
gratefully, because their
words and works elicited from the scavengers of the Democratic press the same demoniac howls that now greet the destinguished Senator from Indiana.
And the rage of these creatures will be as impotent now as it was when this same MORTON found them plotlingtreason in the dark chambers of the sons of Liberty and set hissturdy foot upon their craven necks. Mercy, not justice, spared the miserable lives of our Indiana traitors. Some of them were saved from the gallows—to which they had been justly condemned— bv the earnest appeal of MORTON. That •lass of men can never forgive one to vhose magnanimity they are indebted for Ihe privilege of cursing the race with their existence.
CoNGnis has not yet decided how the eon us of 1M0 is .o betaken Very early in the se ion ilie House perfected a plan embracing many new and desirable feature-. The improvements were so distorted by amendments in the Senate that the Hon. KOSCOE CONKI.ING in.roduced as a subs iuc a bill re-enacting the me.hods par.-ued in the enumeia ion ot preceding decades. To this the 1 lo.i.e will of course object, and the difference will have to be adjusted by a conference committee. No narrow economical deices should be permitted to interfere w.th ihe collection ot the lac conienipl.i.ed by the House bill.

Tin New ork 7 tou.it p"0'c-ts n\ unthe wanion and vicious dispa-.agemeut of he Cuban cause which habecome common in one or two new-papers. Ihe fact that for one \ear and a half .he island patrio's have, with poor weapon maintained themselves a ra'nst a force of regulars and volentce-s, littie less than 100,000 strong at one time, will sufiice to meet the charge that they lack he.o:-m. But most especially does the
Tribune
de
nounce the sneering falsehood that they have allowed Americans to do all their fighting. The truth is that not more than 200 Americans have joined the Oil" ban army, and nothing is clearer than that the Cubans are fighting their bat'le almost entirely with their own money, their own arms, their own men, and their own brains. Let us not flatter ourselves that America is fighting the battle of Cuba. It is Cuba, perhaps, that is fightine the battle or America.
LATE Washington advices confirm the report from New York, which we printed yesterday, that the House, on Monday evening, concurred, by a strict party vole, in the Senate amendments to the Virginia bill. This ends a matter which has elicited much bad feeling in Congress and a great deal of discussion through the press. We wish it had ended better but there is left the consoling reflection that it might have ended worse. Let us try to be satisfied with the result.

The Mysterious Widow
During the summer of 1814, the British not only laid claim to all that portion of the district of Maine lying east of Penobscott, but Admiral Grifleth and Sir John Sherbrook, the latter then being the Governor of Nova Scotia, had been sent with a heavy force to take possession, and occupy the town of Castine which place commands the entrance to the Penobscott river. Shortly before the arrival of the English squadron, Commodore Samuel Tucker had been sent around to Penobscott Bay to protect the American coasters and while the British sailed up Castine, he lay at Thomaston.
It was a schooner that the Commodore commanded, but she was a heavy one, well armed and manned and that she carried the true Yankee "grit" upon her decks the enemy had received from them too many proofs. On the morning of the ISth of "August, a messenger was sent down from Belfast with the intelligence that the British frigate was coming from Castine-to take him. Tucker knew that the British feirtd him, and that also Sir John Sherbrook, had offered a large amount for his Capture.
When the Commodore received the intelligence his vessel was lying at one of the low wharves, where he would have to wait two hours for the tide to set him off, but he hastened to have every thing prepared to get her off as soon as possible, for he had no desire to meet the frigate.
The schooner's keel was just clcarcd from the mud, and one of the men had beenisent upon the wharf to cast off the bowline, when a wagon drawn one horse came rattling do\ to the spot. The driver, a rough looking countryman, got out upon the wharf, and then assisted a middle-aged woman out of the vehicle.— The lady's first inquiry was for Commodore Tucker. He was pointed out to.her, and she stepped upon the schooner's deck and approached him. "Commodore," she asked, "when do you sail from here?" "We sail right off, as soon as possible, madam." "Oh, then I known that you will be kind to me," the lady urged in persuasive tones. "My poor husband died yesterday, and I wish to carry his corpse to Wicasset, where he belongs, and where his parents will take care of it." "But, my good woman. I shan't go to Wicasset." "If you will only land me at the mouth of the Sheepscot, I will ask no more. I can easily find a boat there that will take me up."j "Where is the body?" asked Tucker "In the wagon," returned the lady, at the same time raising the corner of her shawl to wipe away the tears. "I hove a sum of money with me, and you shall be well paid for your trouble." "Tut, tut, woman if I accommodate you there won't be no pay about it."
The kind hearted old Commodore was not the man to refuse a favor, and though he liked not the bother of taking the woman and her strange accompaniment on board, yet he could not refuse. "When he told her that he would do as she had requested, she thanked him with many tears in her eyes.
Some of the men were sent upon the wharf to bring the body on board. A long buffalo robe was lifted off by the man that drove the wagon, and beneath it there appeared a great black coffin. Some words were passed by the seamen as they were putting the coffin on board, which went to show prettyplainly that the affair did not exactly suit them. It may have been but prejudice once in a while when we consider the stern realities they have to encounter. "Hush, mv good men," said the Commodore as he heard their murmured remonstrances. 'Suppose you were to die away from home, would not wish that your last last remains might be carried to your poor parents? Come hurry now."
The men said no more, and ere long the coffin was placed in the hold, and the woman shown to the cabin. In less than half an hour the schooner was clcarcd from the wharf, and standing out from the bay. The wind was light from the eastward, but Tucker had no fear of the fiigate now that he was out of the bay.
In the evening the lady passenger came on deck, and the Commodore assured her that he would be able to land her early on the next morning, She expressed her gratitude and satisfaction, and remarked that before she retired she would like to see that her husband's corpse was safe. This was of course granted, and one of them lifted off the hatch that she might go down into the hold. "I declare," muttered Dan:el Carter, an old sailor, who was standing at the wheel, "she takes on dre'fully." "Yes, poor, thing," said Tucker, as he heard her sobs and groans. "D'ye notice wliat'n »*'e she's got?" continued Carter. "No," said Tucker, "only"it 'twas swollen with tears." "My eyes! but lliey shone, though, when she stood there looking at the coinpass.
Tucker smiled at ihe man's quaint earnestness, and without further remarks he went down to the cabin.
When the woman came up from the hold she looked about the deck of the schooner for a few moments and then went off. There was something in her appearance that puzzled Carter, lie was one of those who objected to the coffin being brought on board, and hence he was not predisposed to look very favorably upon its owner. The woman's eye ran over the schooner's deck with a strange quickness, and Carter eyed her sharply. Soon she went to the taffrail and looked over at the stern boat, and then she came and stood by the binnacle again. "Look out or you'll gibe the boom," uttered the passenger.
Carter started and fot.nd that the main sail was shivering. He gave the i.eiin a couple of strokes aport, and then cast his eyes again upon the woman, whose features were lighted by the binnacle lamp. "Thanks, ma'am," said Dan. Ila! hold on—why, bless my soul, there's a big spider right on your hair. No—not there. Here, I'll—ughl
This last ejaculation Dan made as he seemed to pull something from the woman's hair, which he threw upon th# deck with the Ugh above mentioned.
Shortly afterwards the passenger went below, and ere long Tucker, came on deck. "Commodore," said Carter, with a remarkable degree of earnestness in his manner, "is the 'oman turned in?" "I rather think so, said Tucker, looking at the compass. "Look out, look out, Carter! Why, man alive, you're two points to the southward of your course." "Blow me, so I am," said the man, bringing the helm smartly aport. "But say, didn't ye notice any thing peculiar about the old 'oman?" "Why, Dan, you seem deeply interested about her." "So I am, Commodore, an' so I am about the coffin, too." Wouldn't it be well for you and I to overhaul it?"
Pshaw! you are as scared as a child in a a graveyard." "Not a bit. Just hark a bit. That oman ain't no 'oman."
The Commodore pronounced the name of his satanic majesty in the most emphatic manner. 'It's the truth, Commodore, I can swear to it. I purtended there was a spider on her hair, and I rubbed my hand agin her face. By Sam Hyde, if it wa-n't as rough and bearded as a holystone.— You see she told me now I'd let the boom gibe if I didn't look out. I knew there wasn't no 'oman there, and so I tried her. You call somebody to the wheel, and let us go and look at the coffin."
The Commodore was wonderstruck at what he had heard, but with that calm presence of mind that made him what he was, sat coolly to thinking, and in a few moments called one of the men aft to relieve Carter, and then went down to look at the passengers. The latter had turned in and appeared to be sleeping. Tucker returned and took Carter one side. "No noise now, Carter follow me as though nothing had happened." "Sartin." ,The two approached the main hatch and stooped to raise it, when Dan's hand touched a small ball that seemed to have been pinned up under the afterbreak of the hatch. '"Tis a ball of twine," said he. "Don't touch it, but run and get a lantern," replied Tucker.
Carter sprang to obey, and when he returned a number of men had gathered about the spot. The hatch was raised, and the Commodore carefully picked up the ball of twine and found that it was made fast to something bc-low. He descended to the hold, and there he found the ball of twine ran in beneath the lid of the coffin. He had no doubt in his mind no*y that there was mischief boxed up below, and he sent Carter for something that might answer for a screw driver. The man soon returned with astout knife, and the Commodore, set to wojlc.—
He worked very carefully, however, at the same time keeping a bright lookout for the string.
At length the«crews were out, and the lid was very carefully lifted from its place. "Great God in heaven!" burst from the lipe of the Commodore. "By Sam Hyde!" dropped like a thun-der-clap from the tongue of young Sam. "Goa bless you Dan," said the Commodore. "I know'd it!" uttered Dan.
The men stood for a moment and gazed upon the coffin. There was no dead man there, but in the place thereof, there was material for the death of a score. The coffin was filled with gunpowder and pitchwood. Upon a light frame work in the center were arranged four pistols, all cocked, and the string entering the coffin from without communicated with the trigger of each.
The first movement of the Commodore was to call for water, and when it was brought, he dashed three or four buckets full into the infernal contrivance, and then he breathed more freely. "No, no," he uttered, as he leaped from the hold. "No, no, men. Do nothing rashly. Let me go into the cabin first. You may follow me.',
Commodore Tucker strode into the cabin, walked up to the bunk where his passenger lay, and grasping hold of the female diess, he dargged its wearer out upon the floor. There was a sharp resistance, and the passenger drew a pistol, but it was quickly knocked away, the gown was torn off, and a man came forth from the remnants of calico and linen.
The fellow was assured that his whole plot had been discovered, and at length owned that it had been his plan to turn out in the course of the night, and get hold of the twine, which he had left in a convenient place. He intended to have gone aft, carefully unwindiug the string as he went along, then to havegot into the boat, cut the falls, and as the boat fell into the water, he would have pulled the twine. "And I tliiuk you know," he continued with a wicked look, "what would have followed. I should not have been noticed in the fuss—I'd have got out of the way of the boat, and you'd all have been in the next world in short order. And all I can say is, that I'm sorry I didn't do it."
It was with much difficulty that the Commodore prevented his men from kill ing the villain on the spot. He proved to be one of the enemy's officers, and he was to have a heavy reward if he succeeded in destroying the Commodore and his crew
The prisoner was carried on deck and lashed to the main rigging, where he was told to remain until tlie vessel got into port. "What a horrid death that villain meant for us," said Carter. "Yes, he did," said Tucker, with a shudder. "He belongs to the same gang that's been robbin' and burnin' the poor fol's houses on the coast," said one of the men. "Yes," said the Commodore, with nervous twitch of the muscles about the mouth.
A bitter curse from the prisoner now broke the air, and with clenched fist the Commodore went below.
In the morning, when Tucker came on deck, Seguin was in sight upon the starboard bow, but when he looked for the prisoner he was gone. "Carter, where's the villain I lashed here last night?" "I'm sure I don't know where he is, Commodore. Perhaps he's jumped overboard."
The old Commodore looked sternly in Carter's eyes, and saw a twinkle of satisfaction gleaming there. He hesitated a moment—then turned away and muttered to himself. "Well, well—I can't blame them. If the murderous villain's gone to death, he has only met a fate which he richly deserved. Better far, it be him, than that my noble crcw were now all in the ocean's cold grave."
The Woman.
Lucille Western's thrilling perso-ia-don of "Nancy," in Oliver Twist, was a little too highly-seasoned for the delicate Bostonian stomach. One of the papers speaks of it as "inexpressibly sickening, disgusting and appalling."
An oath from the lips of a pretty woman shocks and surprises us as would a bullet from a rosebud. It is doubtless in bad taste for a man to swear, but to hear profanity from a woman jars upon the nervc3 like the filing of a saw. We never wish to close profane lips with a kiss.

Kitty, cruelift of girls. Turned away in pride Down her shoulders shook the curls.

Haughtily she frowned on me— Like a miser old, Would not give, for charity.

When the thieves break i-i. Taken a? a class women can contrive more outlandish and ugly fashions than one would think possible without the gift of inspiration. Take, for instance the waterfall. First, it represented a bladder of Scotch snuff next, it is hung down a woman's back like a canvas-cove ed ham afterward it counterfeited a turnip on the back of the head now, it sticks straight out behind, and looks like a muzzle on a greyhound. Nestling in the midst of this long stretch of hair, reposes a little battercake of a bonnet, like a jockey saddle on a long-backed race-horse.
A PERSEVERING LOYER.
An Italian Crosses the Sea and Becomes an Organ Grinder to Find liis Sweetheart.
From the New York Sun.] Giovani Cottella, an Italian, was taken before Justice Cox, on the charge of committing an assault upon Theresa Amba.— About a yearagoGiovani andTheresalived in Paris,and the former was desperately in love with the latter. Time wore away. Thereaa gave her assurance of the return of that love which Giovani bore her. The day had been fixed for the wedding, but previous to that day another person appeared on the scene, and Giovani had a rival. At length Theresa began to receive Giovani coldly, and one evening when he callcd at the house where she had lived she was gone. He learned that the false Theresa and his rival had sailed from France for New York. A week or two afterward he was in hot pursuit, on the Atlantic. On his arrival in New York he hired an organ, and traveled the length and breadth of the city, from early dawn until late at night, discoursing "Champagne Charlie," "Shoo Fly,' and other popular aii s.
On Saturday he was in Sullivan street, hard at work with his organ, when, attracted by the music, a charming brunette of about nineteen summers looked out of a second-story window of 67 Sullivan street. She listened attentively a moment, and then withdrew, unconscious of the*pre-ence of her discarded lover.— Giovani threw his organ to the ground, and leaving it on the sidewalk rushed into the house, upstairs, burst the door and confronted the false Theresa. Drawing a double-barreled loaded pistol, he pointed it at her head it missed fire. Theresa had by this time regained her self-pos-sessioii,and sprang forward shrieking, and wrested the pistol from his hand. He had come well prepared, and putting a hand to his side' drew out a murderous dirk knife, when officer Geary rushed into the room and gave Giovani a blow with his locust, knocking the knife from his hand.
Giovani was taken before Justice Cox, but, singularly, Theresa would not appear to make a complaint. -v „S4£'
