Out of respect to the memory of ex-Presidont Fillnore, both Houses of Congress sdjoarned over yostordoy. In the House, resolutions were passed commomorative of his privato and public ~irtues, and suthorizing the appolntment of a committeo to nttond his funeral on bobalf of the Houso of Roprosentatives. The obscquies will 10 hield at Buftalo on Thareday. A confession has been made by Charles Orton, in which ho assorts that the Tichborne clelmant 18 his brother, This may bo offsct agninst Lady Tichborne's recognttion of him ag her son, The clnimant's couvsel, Dr. Kenealy, who is said to contomplate su appeal to the Houso of Lords in favor of lis client, has made public a protest sgainst tho commonts of the ‘English press on thocnse. Thoy nre, he snys, bent on destroying him, gs the prosecution has destroyed tho Cinimant. The Common Council last night met withoub Mayor Colvin in tho chair, a8 the oxpiration of tho Mayor's bill relenses him from the duty of presiding. The Sundny Liquor law came up in tho report of tho Committeo on Licensca, They recommond that tho sale of liquor on Sunday be allowed, provided saloon doors bo kept closed from 6 o’clock in tho motning till 2 in the aftor- woon, The ordinance, after a good donl of dis- cussion, was ordorod to bo engrossed. ————— Tho grocors of Columbus, O., tako refuge in Magna Charta, In reply to the appeals of the tomperanco crusaders that thoy will discontinue tue salo of liquor, they have resolved that thoey will conduct their businees, a8 it is their cou- stitutional privilege to do, in their own way, and will not diecontinue, under uny compulsion, tho ealo of a logitimato mticle of trade for which there is o popular demand. Thoy refor tho crnsaders sareastically to the study of tho Declaration of Indepondenco and the Constitu- tlon of tho United Statos. e Chieago gave Prof. Proctor an audience lagb night of which the lecturer and the city might both be proud. Kingabury Hall was filled to its utmost capmeity. Tho success of the brilliant lecturer was shiown by tho deop interost with which bis story of the wonders of tho etar dopths was roceived, and by the hearty applause which followed somo of his fine illustrations. To- pight Lo speaksof comots and metoors, Tho sue- cess of theso lecturos is only anotherproof of the laason teught by Lyndalls great triumph in this country, that no topics are more fagcinating to the public mind than those of scionce, whon aloqueutly and trustworthily presented. In these days of the multiplication of Fedoral offices and officors, and the projocted cstablish- ment of Burenus to supervise tho Nutionul 1lygionics and tho National Bovorages, thore I8 somothing healthy in tho plan of tho National Grango to get up for themselves o Naotional Buroau of Crop Roports, Al information ubout the crops will bo gathored throughout the country by the members of subordinate Granges, By them it will be roported to tho Stato Grango, and through them will bo brought to o focus at an ofiice in Wushington, Tero the returns will: bo compnred, aveanged, and sumasized, and tho rosnlt distributed cuch month by tolograph to the individuul Grangors through the ftate and subordinato Granges Theso bulleting will not be made publie. As thoy sro gathored by the co-operation of the Grangors, thoy alone axe to have tho beuoflt of them, Tho Chicago produce matkets wore gencrally 1ess active yostorday, and strongor.

It any Gircuit Court decldo tho rates fixed by tho Commissionors in any caso to bo unjuat, it moy roplaco them by a schedule of its own, which shall romaiin in forco for & yonr. Tha same Committeo havo roported a bill to pre- vent tho “watoring ™ of railroad stoclk under any protonse. Jayno has practicod all the crafty arts of o Turkish Pasha in onsnaring the morchants of Now York and Boston into his hands to be plundered. Discovering tocknienl orrors in in- voices, and morcilessly oxacting the full forfoit of thie bond, woro the lonst outrageous of hiy mothods. Tho Inw undor which ho worked was o, cruolly contrived that for him to soizo books and papors on affidavies, basod on forged lottors and fulso testimony, was easier and safer than for the honost morchants ho wronged to resist him. As rolated fu our Now York dispatches, it was n regular part of his business to bribo clorks to furnish him with forged and falgo data on which to make soizures, In this way somo of bis Tioviest hauls, ko that in tho Bakor, Wold & Co. case, in Boston, weremado. With books and pa~ peragone, the hapless morchants could neithor deo- fond themselves nor rosumo their bnsiness, and wero only too glad to save thomselyos from ruin by submitting to n groat wrong. Emporor Willism las written a lettor in roply to the resolutions of tho groat meoting in Lon- don, in Junuary Inst, exprossing tho sympathy of the English Protestants with him in his confliet with tho Romieh Church, Ho gives no signs of any faltering in the storn polley which has sont the Arohbishop of Poson to prison, and yestorday, in tho faco of & riot- ing population, cloged the sominary of tho Archbishop of Troves, who i¢ slso in prison, and slands ready to deal in the game way with any othor ecclosinstic who transgresses the civil Jaw. Tho Emporor esys that tho succoss of tho Church would imporil tho political and religious fruits of tho Reforma- tion. Tho struggle which ho is continuing agiust its fatal domination wes begun in onrly agos by tho Imperors of Germany, and he in- tends to koop it up, in firm reliancs upon God, ond yot with full toleiation for the roligious rights of nll his subjects. Upcen this Iatter point the Emperor lays much stross, n0d insists that his polioy is not n persecution of tho Catho- lica, but o proservation of the independonco of Iiis Government from the oncroachments of the Church. ermeemm—— It 18 o well-catablished principle in law thata merchiant or other business mau is bound by the acts of his agent, WThe rule is limited to the specific trust or duties for which thoe agent is employed; or it may be general, and apply to all nets and things which the principal himself may of right do. This rule applied to tho Gov- ernment—and it cannot be shown why it should not be bound by the samo rules that govern busiuoss betweon individuale—would sot adrift a Lorde of Custom-House thioves, and send abrond Jayno, Banborn, and their gang to got thoir liv- ing a8 best they can. ‘Tho Custom-Houso oficors are tho ngonts of the Govern- ment, Whon oneca they have passed foreign goods to tho importers, that should be tho oud of tho matter, If they are incompotont or dis- honest, and do wrong, the Government should not take advantage of the incompotence or tho dishonesty of its own agonta, If collusionora conepiracy to' dofrand the Govornment can be proved as between the importersnd the Custom~ Jiouso ofifcer, thon lot both be sdequately pun- fshod by fluo and imprisonmont. The wholo systom of moletics, now sanctioned by law, is ous of the most Inoxedsable sud stupondous wrongs over inflicted upon the people by even o despotic Government. It is legalized stonting and mnothing else. Will nob our Congross ab onee repoel this abominable law, and euact one based upon the principles that govern all our commoreial interosts? MILLARD FILLMORE, Mllard Fillmore, ox-President of tho United States, died at lis residonco in Buffalo, March 8, aged 74 yenrs, My, Fillmore had but two sur- viving contempovaries in tho politica of Now York, in which he took an active part, Thoso avo Thulow Weod and Gon, James Watson Wobb, Tlo Losscon all the athors dopart, snd in thoir timo they woro s brilliunt array.

My, Fillmara wag & man of onergy and ability. THis oarly life was o porscvering struggle with adverse circumatancos and poverty, which ended with lis ndmission to the Bar in 1828, and his morriaga in 1620, After tho lattor dato ho on- terad upon n sucossful practice, Lis associatos in Lusiness being Solomon G, Haven, subsoquently mombor of Congress from Buffalo, and Nathan K. Hall, subsequently TPostmastor-General, In 1828, Mr. Fillmoro joined Thurlow Weed in tho Anti-Masonlo party of thot day, and was by that party eloated to the Loglslaturo, where he dis- tinguisnod himsolf by his attontion to businoss, his coralnl franknass, aud his ability, 1o draft- od tho bill abollshing imprisonmont for dobt, In 1833, ho was rocognized among the leadors of the Anti-Jaokeon party of tho Btate, and was aloctod to Congross, Ha gorved ond torm, In 1850, tho Opponltion had taken tho namo of ‘Whigs, and Fillinoro was cloctad to Congross ns & momber ot that pasty, 1ie was ro-olectod in 198 and 40, ¥lo was on the Committeo of Eleo- tlona in tho oolobratod oase of tho Naw Jarsoy contosted olootion, which for sovoral moaths onprrossed the attontion of politient partios in Congress, Asently aa 1898, Mr. Fillmora hud takon ntrong ground tn opposition to slavery. In 1841, tho Whigs boing In n mujorlty in the Houso (John Tylor having succooded Harrison a0 Previ- dont), Mr. Fillmoro was mnde Olalrman of the Commiltteo on Ways and Means, and Lo, with that Committco, matured what was aftorwards Jnown ns the tarllt of 1842, At tho oloso of ilio Congross In Mareh, 1843, hio declinod o ro- election, In 1844, the Whig Convention nominated Mr. Olny for Prosidont, aud Mr, Fillmore, who had boon voted for but not nominated for Viee Prosidont, was mado tho Whig candidate for Governor of Now Yorl, whoro it was botioved, tho gront fight wns to bomade, The Domocraty, with equal knowledgo of tho situation, lind nom- funtod Bilan Wright., Mu Wright's power snd influonco wers eufilclont to carry tho Stato, thereby oleoting Polk over Olsy to the Presi- donoy. Two yoars later, Mr. Iillmore was clected Comptroller of the State of New Yorl, which offico ho held vhon the Whig Natiounl Convontlon mot in Philndelphis, in June, 1848, In tho meantimo tho slavery quostion had bo- como ono of absorbing Intorest. ho aunoxa- tion of 'exns na o slave Stato, in 1846, and tho subsequent acquisition of Moxican torritory as & rosult of tho war, had produced » wido-spread feoling at the North, Tho Wilmot Troviso, oxeluding slavery in all tho new torri- tory, waa tho popular domand amoug the North- orn Whigs, with fow oxcoptioue. Sill it was necossery to Lave s candidate satisfaclory to tho Southern Whigs. Gon. Taylor, tho hero of thoMoxican War, was n Loulsinnian, and, though unfamiliar with politics, wns opposed by thoso who distrusted all mon from tho South on that quostion. 8o flerco and bittor was the contest, that tho Convention, in order to presorve bar- mony at all, sat with closod doora, Tho result was that the Convontion nominatod Gen Taylor (supposed to bo pro-slavory) for President, and Millard Fillmoro (supposed to bo anti-slavery) for Vice-Prosident. Mu. Fillmore was strongly opposed in tho Convention by Thurlow Woed. Thoy wero olectod. In tho meantime tho ques- tion of slavery in the Torritories lad ncquired vast importanco. With tho now Administrution, Mr, Ciay hod roturmed tothe Benato for the purposgof playing tho port of pacilicator, and Mr. Soward appearod as s Seoator from Now York, When Congress met in Decomber, 1849, tho excitoment on this question waa o gront that the Ilouse of Reprosentatives was unablo for mnny weeks to organize, o Inrgo number of Whig rofusing to vote for Robert 0. Wintlirop for Speakor on tho ground that ho was vot suf- ficiently anti-slavery. The Administration of Gen. Taylor proved to bo anti-slavery, and Mr. Boward’s influenca with it was complote, This throw Mr. Fillmore to the other side. 3Ir. Clay introduced Lis celobrated compromise, propos- ing tho admission of Californis, the organization of Territorinl Goveruments for Utsh and Now Mesico, silent on the slavery question, the set- thement of tho Toxas boundary, and n moro ofiiciont Fugitive Slave Jaw, Theso wero ihio “five gaping wounds™ which he propokcd to clofo and hesl. This moavuro, originally coustl- tuting ono “omoibus” bill, was debated far into tho supunor, the Whigs being vory much divided, when o most unexpocted ovent took place, which changed tho wholo courso of allairy, Gen, Taylor, after o fow days'illness, died, July 9, 1850, and Mr, Fillmore became Prosident of the United States. Ho golected o Cabinet composed of fiiends of the compromiso, in- cluding Mr. Crittondon, of Koutucky, a8 At- tornoy-General. Mr, Boward, though still the leader of the anti-slavery Whigs, being deprived of the support of ihe Administration, was power- losg, and the various measurey proposed by Mr. Clay wero all ouacted into laws, The new Presi- dent, who hud boen eloctod a8 an anti-glavory | man to offsob tho pro-slavory head of tho ticket, roversed tho policy of his pradecessor and adopted the viows of tho Southern politicians. Tlo approved oll tho bills, Whon tho now Fugi- tive Slave law was presonted to him, ho submitted it to tho Attorncy-General, under whoso advico ho spproved 1t. He was at once denouncod by tho auti-slavery Whigs. 'The Compromiso Messures, lowover, appeared to satisfy the country for & time, and wero formally approved by both parties in their Nationat Conventions in 1852, Mr. Webater wos SBeeretary of Stato from July, 1850, to the timo of his death, in Octobor, 1852, whon he waa succoedod by Mr. Bdward Evorett. The Admin- istration closed in March, 1853, Though ecsseu- tinlly * doughfaco,” it was muarked with decided ability, sud with o pusity aud dignity that com- pared with the bost days of the Govornment, But M. Fillmore had censed to bo counted in tho Anti-Slavory party, snd bad becomo the chiof of the Consorvative or Bilver-Grey Whigs. Tho election of 1853 torminated tho existence of tho Whig party. Tho ropoal of the Missouri Compromiso in 1854, and tho subsequont disturl- ances in Kansgs, divided the country into two partios,—tho Anti-Nobrasks party and tho Dowo- cratio party. This division was complicated by tho tiso of a third party, known as the American or Know-Nothing party. In 1856, whilo absont in Buropo, Mr. Fillmoro was nominated by thia third pasty for tho Prosidonoy, and acceptod, Ifa recolved a vory largo wopular voto, prin- cipally from tho old Whigs in tho Bouthorn Htatos, but obtaiued the Tlectoral voto only of Margland. Sinco that lime bo hes lived ot Butfalo, dovoting his timo to lnw, litoraturo, and kindred pursuits. A fow days aftor retiring from tho Prosidonoy ho lost his wife, and soon after lus only duughtor, In 1858 ho was masried to Mra, Caroliuo MeIntosh, who survives him, Mr, TFillnoro, though not a man of gonins, owad his suceess to no less dosirablo qualitios, Ile was from (ho onrliest day distinguished for poreonal intogrity, which was never impeached orquostioned, Ho way u goutloman of dignified and plonsant manvers and of imposing physique. As presiding ofticor in the Sonate, ho malntained a dignity that was honorable and usoful to the vody. Tuavgumont ko was fair and manly; bo Induiged in no personalitios ; and ns o loglslator wos Inborious and slvays well-informed, As Prosidont, ho performed his routine dutios faith- fully and croditshly to the ocountry. History will not forglvo him for londing his influonco to the slavo powor; but, having enid this, it remaing to Do said thot ho takes rank among the ablo, compotent, and dignified Qhiet Maglutratos of his country, Tho defonso mado by his friends of his scoming chango of sontle meut on the slavery question aftor his accesslon wag, that, a8 Dresldent of tho United States, ropresonting tha conflieting intorests of all soo- tlous, ha could not nct 88 tho mombor of & party, or o faction of & party, ropresonting but one thonght ond one 1des, to tho exolusion of all athera, I'his sounds quectly now, but to forma Just judgniont wo must tyansport oursolves to tha perlod fn which ho actod.” Probably the most lonjeut verdiot that can bo poaseod upon him is {hnt ho hnd & groat opportunity to sorve the cause of human rights aud that lio missed it Of all Fndl wardn of tongo or pen, Tho sacddest nre theso: ¢ It might have been.” THE NEW HAMPBHiRE ELECTION, ho Now 1Iampshire annual olection of Gov- ornor nnd Logislaturo occurs to-dsy, and tho candidates for Governor aro: Luthor MeCutoki- ins, Ropublican; James A, Weaton, Domoorab; John Blackmor, Tomporanco, The votos for Govoruor In tho Inst threo olections hnvo boon: 1871—Janies A; Weaton, Domocrat., Jumoa Pike, Ropibilonnsessseres Bamnel I, Gooper, Lot Ttoform.
