Orogon Lna joinod tho rovolt against pos litleal corruption and maladministration, The farmers of that State have nominated a full tickot for Stato officors on an indopendent plat-, form. g — The not purport and upshot of the two curren- oy bills, if thoy both become laws, is an inflation of $14,000,000 and a contraction of 864,000,000, making & net contraction of $20,000,000. Tho dotalls of this unexpected mess are glvon in our financial colum ¥ Banborn's trinl bofore tho Ways and Means Committeo has como to an end. Tho examina- tion of John L. Pondrey, o Kansas attornoy, closed the investigation, His evidenco was of litto consoquonce ; it almply sdded woight to the conviction of Richardson, Sawyer, and Ban- fleld. Bince these gentlemen aro alroady buried out of sight, a shovelful of dirt, moro or less, will cause thom no inconvenienco. e — A moeting of capitalists and nierchants in Now York Wednosdsy night adepted* rosolutions sgainet Inflation and roquesting tho President to voto tho Senate bill. Tho opinion provaila genorally smong intelligont mon that this is the orportunity of Gon.

Ou tho whoule, we think it is very likely that o Ring docs exist in that suburb, and that 1t is not altogether an idle one: The Town of Hydo Park is pc.uaps better educated, botter Informed, more cultivated, and possesses moro No. 2, and 81.40@1.44 for No, 3.

Bheop dull and unehangod, Wo aro ablo to shoots tho deoision’ of tho Attorney-Goneral of {hia Stato In tho cnso of the printing contracts, whoso fraudulont naturo was oxposod losb winter by n committeo of the egls- Iaturo. Tho orighial power of tho Blato to avold n contract obtained by collusion among biddors is shown by tho Attornoy-Ganoral to bo boyond dispute. Tho only quoation that con arise fs whethor tho Stale, bav- ing discovored tho fraud and {n o mnnner candoned tho offonse by ordoring further work to bo done, hing now tho right to broak tho con- tract. Mr. Edsoll holds that this right lias boen surrendored by tho Btate, sinco the Logislature, notwithstanding tho oxposure of tho ewindle, orderad tho Rovised Statutos to bo printod undor | tho old contract, As to tho allogod ovarchargos, 1ho decision i that tho intontion of tho printers and the Commissionors must bo judged from tho customary mannor of rockoning “iokona® and ‘‘impressious’ in this Stato. What this custom may be is & mattor of fact; and tho Commissioners are advised to ask tho opinlon of exports as to tho provailing practice. Anothorsteamer belonging to the Fronch Trana- atlantio Lino has gono to tho bottom of the ocenn. The firat vessellost was the Villo du Havro, which carriod down 226 souls Inst Decomber. Noxt wag tho Europe, , which foundered 1 mid-oconn o fortnight ago ; and now comes the intelligonco that tho stenmer L'Amierique has beon wreclrod off tho const of Drittany, Thus within four months the TFronch Company has lost throeo. magnificent steamors, and it is duo to tho morest chanco that the loss of lifo was not troblo thnt which sotually took place. A peculiayity of all tho vossels of the French lHues is, that they lavo been **rebuilt,”—in other words, they have been eut In two, and a new section insorted emidships. It ia too much to ngsort that tho Vil's du Havre, the Europo, and the L'Ameriqns wore unecaworthy, but thoro cortninly is an cxtremo probability thnt thoy were incapable of sustaining shocks that would have producod no effect on n stanch Cuuarder. As for wator-tight compartments and double-sides, wo hope tho steafiboat companies will have the grace to omit montion of theso fanoy contrivances from future advertisomonts, Bonators Carpontor, Morton, West, Howe, and Hamilton (of Maryland) joined in o debate you- terdny on the bill ordoring n now olection m Louisinne. A staggoring blow to tho causo of Kollogg was doljvered by Senator Carpenter, who showod that tivo claction Inwa wero passed by tho Inst Logislature in Loulelann,—ono repealing tho infamous law under which the Kellogg Gov- ernment was olccted, and another repealing the repoaling faw. By tho State Constitution, the Governor is ompotwored to withhold his signa- ture or voto from any bill passed by the Logisla- ture during the five days proesding adjournment until tho opening of the next logislutive goesion. Gov. Kellogg bas signed .the frst roposling bill, and now holds tho seccond ono , in sbeyanco, Bonators Morton and West wero ontiroly unprepared for this revolation, yot they were compolled to ad- mit its substantial accurncy. For a time, thoy could make no reply to the orushing arguments of Benators Carpontor snd Howo, but finally Morton recovored himsolf sufficiently to say that Senator Carpenter's bill for & now election was unconstitutional, and therofore should not pass. Tho result of the debate was & signnl wealth than any othor community of equal sizo in this State. The populntion is not so large that thero can bo any great divorsity of interost; onch person must be more or less personally ac- quainted with all the othors ; and if undor theso circumatancos thoro cannot be an honest Govern- wment in Hyde Park, whore can we hope to have e 2 ———m ‘Tho cause of Cuban independence has enlistod @ new and powoerful supporter, Senator Carpen- teris tho recruit. Ho yestorday introduced n preamblo and resolutions in the Senato sotting forth tho right of colonies to establish inde- ‘pendent governments when thoy bave the power to do 8o, and declaring it to b the duty of the United States, in viow of the prolonged robellion in Cuba and the probability that it will never bo supprossed, to recognize Cuba as a free and in- depondent sovereignty. The resolutions provide for strict noutrality on the part of the United States botween tho contending parties, The Foroign Relations Committeo now have charge of tho manifosto, and it may be sprung upon the country at any hour, it the devalop- ments {n the Dockray case, which have already assumod & gorious aspect, should seom to do- mand euch a course. Cuban indepondence has lost tho chimerical shapo which it took on after tho settlemant of tho Virginius affair, A sham-hattlo took place botween Mossrs. Davwos and Butlor in tho National House of Rep- resontatives yostorday. A motion to decrenso thoe item for the President’s aalary in the Goner- al Appropriation bill from 260,000 to $25,000 was under disoussion, Gen, Butler roferred, in o gingerly fashion, to Mr. Dawes' famous ro- tronchmont specch. tomary parallel between the good old times, when Jefforson and Hancock flourished in powder and velvet, to the prosont dogenorate day, whon Prosident Grant and his family oko out & subsistonco on 860,000 per annum and £400,000 for incidentals, Mr, Dawes replicd in guarded terms; but it was ovi- “dont that both partios woro only pretending to do terfible execution. IIad not Mr. Cox en- livened tho debate by his sunny humor, {t would have been droary enough, Doubtless Mr. Dawes and Mr, Butlor fought thelr sham-battle with o view to melting the porverso hoart of tho Massa- chusetts Logislature, [ Tho Chicago produco markets were gencrally strong yeaterday, with an active movement in grain, Moss pork was quiot but firm and 15@2%50 por barrel higher, olosing at $10.00@10.06 cashs and 810,07}4@16.10 soller May, Lard was quict but drm aud 23e highor, closing ot 80.67X@ 9,70 cash or sollor May.

THE STORY OF A SUBSIDY, The story of the Pacific Mail Stenmahip subsi- dy, and the process of gotting it, sounds some- thing liko a taloin the Arabian Nights. It is liko fho fablod roo that flow from an tinknown place with $600,000 in its bealk and alighted in a palace, deposited Lialf of its praclous load, and then flow away in the durkuess, presumably to anotlier palaco, whore greenbacks wars perticu- larly wanted. Of course all attompts to catch the bird wero fruitless. . In 1872, tho Pacific Mail Company found itaolf in dangor of losing money. A British organiza- tion was about to run e competing lino betweon China ond San TFrancisco. Tho managers ar- gued, that if thoy couldn't make munecy out of passongors and froight, thoy could out of Con- grees, 8o tho Company plead for an additional subsidy of $500,000 & year. Could the law-mak- ing power, after legislating all other American shipping out of existenco, rofusotolavish money on tho fow old stenmships that still flow tho Stars and Stripes? This was one of tho (00,001 reasons for tho subsidy, The other 600,000 wore dollara, Thoy were put in thehauds of one Irvin, Ho rented o magnificont mansion in Washing- ton. o Lind brains, o cholee lardor, excollont wines, lots of mouoy. Howas thus able to progont convincing arguments to the Con- grossional intelledt, stomach, and pocket. Crowds of Congrossmon marched into his houss and camo out ngain worse and wiser men, do- tormined to malo their constituonts pay half-a- million o year in order to prevent compolition and keopup freights botween San Francisco and China, Neodwo say that the bill was pags- ed, and that the investigation ordored last yoar was gmothored ? Binca the job was carried through, tho Paclflo Mail Company has changed Prosidonts, Btook- woll hns gone out. Bago has como in. Bage was 8ago onough to ask Irvin for Lo items of his oxponditure. o probably wanted to know the prico of individunl Congrossmon for future reforouce, Irvin éuddenly loft for Turope. Btoouwell hind gono before, The Company has discovered that its lobbylst geuerously endowed Lis aistor, who lives in Philndelphis, with $800,- 000 worth of real estato while he was working in Washington, The inferonco fs that Congros. slonal lavishuess with other people's monoy proved contsglous, Tho sister is now to bo gued. Tho bill filed against hor should bogln #YWhoreas tho 'acifio Muil Bteamship Company intrusted, ono Irvin with £000,000 to be used in corrupting Cougress and plundoring the poople of the United States, and whereas tho said Irvin acoowplishad this onay task by spondlng only ‘Thalf tho above sum, and thon swindled tho Qonie peny ont of tho othor $800,000, now, thoreforo,” ato,, oto, 3 'Tho shamoful story of this subsidy shows falthtully enough the process by whioh grauts of monoy are gonorally got, It fa but a fow duys singe this ssmo Company gave Congroas-—or & launoh of a now stonmsbip. This was probably dono oither to provent investigation of the past or to pavo, the way for a new subsidy in tho future, It js the plain and prossing duty of Congroess, in view of tho Indoous facts now ro- vonled, to take tho supprossed testimony of last yoar at onco, and to oxdor a new and soarching invostigation. Enough corruptfon s atready Loon made manifest to warrant tho instant ro- penl of the subsidy. THE COUP D'ETAT IN ARKANSAS, ‘Whilo the'United Btates Bonato is ongaged in fiorco dobato ovor thoe forciblo seizuro of tho Btato Governmont in Louialana, and whilo that outrago and usurpation is dofonded lost its con- domnation might be construed into a consure on the Administration by whoso warraut and sup- port it waa committed, we havo the intolligonce that tho Governor and State ofticors of Arknugaa linvo beon forcibly ejeoted and others have in- stalled thomsolves in the oftices. Thus In Btates ey in soolety, one nnpuulshed crimo bocomes a precodont and justification for another. At tho oclection for Presldent, State officors, Congrasamen, and Logislaturo in 1873, tho Re- publicon party, which Lad been in a large man~ Jjority, wero divided, and various combinations were mado. Thoe Liberals who supported Greo- loy also supportoed a tickot for State officors and Congressmon who wore of tho faction styled in Arkensas ‘* Brindlatails” ; whilo those who voted for Grant supported n tickot knowr as “Minstrols,”” Undor tho law, ono Iiadloy, o carpot-bagger from Minnesota (who has stnce *vamosod " tho Stato), who was Acting-Gov- ornor, appointed all tho rogistiars of clootion, and instructed them to exoludo all' mon who had beon Rebols, ote. It was nssumed that 10,000 whito men in Avkanene woro excluded from the polls under these instructions, The election re~ turns first published at Littlo Rock showod that tho Btato had given Groeley about 4,000 majori- ty and tho *‘Drindletail” candidates about 6,000. Theso roturns were then *‘doctored,” end Grooloy's majority roduced to 1,000 sud tho rost of the ticket to 8,000, At a lator date thoy woro again doctorod, and theso ma- jorities were rubbed out ; and still lator, another revision, consisting of tho rojoction of Lhe voto of & whole serics of counties, resulted in tho elaction of the candidates of tho * Minstrels,” Thio candidatos for Govornor wero: Brooks, “ Drindletail,” and Baxter, **:Minstrel,” DBrooks was o carpet-bagger, and Baxter was & native of tho stato, Novortholoas, thoro ean’ bo no quos- tion that Brooks and his associatos woro all law- fully olected, and by decided majoritics. Tho votes for the candidates wore uneven, go that, to olect oll the *Minstrels,” the excision of tho votos of counties way groat. Tho returne of nino countios were wholly rojected, in addition to tho doctoring of the roturns from other coune tios. Among tho ofiicors choaen wore two Jus- tices of tho Supromo Court, and the two “ Min- atrols” were declared elocted, Despito this wholesale falsification, Hyucs, * Brindlotail,” was still left with amojority for Congress at large. Of courso, the manipulation of theso ro- turns chouoged the political complexion of the Logislaturo, which has since eleated Mr., Dorsoy to tho United Statos Senato. Brooks appealed at'first to Judge Caldwell, of tho United States District Court, under the Ku- Klux act, preciscly as Kellogg did to Durell in Louisiana, but Judge Caldwel, liko an honost Judgo, declded that that law gove bim no juris- diction of tho case. Brooks thon appealed to the * Minstrol ™ Judges of tho Btate Suprome Court, who decided that that Court Lad no juris. diction over tho question of an clection for Governor. Brooks then brought suit in the State Olrenit Court against Baxtor for posses- elon of tho office. This swt has boon pending in thot Court over sinco. In the meantimo the politics of Arkansashave changed. The Legislature doclared elected in 1872 was an “‘ awful" ono, and Gov. Baxter, who is a native of the State, and wo supposo inter- catod in ite welfare, took pains to ompty o large numbor of its sents by appointing its mombers to local offices, thercby crenting vacancies. Theso vacancios have since been filled, and at prosont n majority of the Logislature is Con- sorvativo, This Legislature may bo convened at any timo by the Governor. Tho result of it all is that Baxter has become unpopular. with the “ Minstrel ™ faction, including, it is eaid, the two Benators and tho Ropublican Ropresenta- tives in Congress. An allinnce has thorefore boen patched up with Brooks, and the decision of tho Ciroult Court, the prompt =action of the Chief Justico swoaring Brooks in, and the forci- blo soizure of tho offices and ejection of Baxter, alllook as if the whole thing was tho result of an understanding oxtonding all tho way from Arkanans to Washington, Tho situation in the Btate at Inst acoounts was unchanged. Gov. Brooks still holds the State- Hougo with & gunrd of about 100 men. He has jssued o proclamation justifying his course and deolaring his intention of etaying in offico 08 long as he finds it conveniont. Both the Governors having -appenled to tho Presi- dent for protection, he yesterday anewered thom through Attornoy-Geoneral Willinms, DBrooks waa informed that his right to tho offico was not recognized. Baxter was advised to take en appoal to tho Supromo Court of tho Btate, and abldoby its decision. Aninterview with the Btate Goologist of Arkaneas; which is printed in another column, will bo found to throw some additional light on tho coup d'elat. THE MYSTERIOUS BROWN, 1t 18 a nice, an onsy, & comfortable, and & profit- ablo little arrangoment which Mullett, Suporvis- Ing Architeet of tho Troasury Department, and Bhophierd, Governor of the District of Colum- ‘i, patent-roofer, plumber, and gas-fitter, have togother. Never was nest so eklllfully construot- ed, o well feathered, so warm, sud so snug, The way tho littlo nest was mado was as followa: In 1869, Mullott sold o half-interost in two patents, one for roofing and tho other for an anti-freozing wator-pipe, in consideration of a certain por- contago on the proceods, These patents, pro- cured by E, P, Vaus, had boon at first rojocted 88 oontaluing nothing novel, but wero aftorwards ongincered through the Patont Oflce by Mullett. This was the firet stop, Thon the owners of the petont, tho Voux Patent Anti-Freezing Pipo and Rooflng Company, including Bhopherd, pro- ourod » contraot from tho Trensury Dopartment to cover tho roofs of Government buildings, ‘Tho nost Laving been thus constructod, Job us look briofly at the process of foathering it. Acocording to the torms of thla contract, tho United Btatos pays thocost of all labor and ma- torlal oxpandod on the roof, glven to Mr, Shep- Lerd'a company 16 per cont of tho gross amount for it proflt, bosidos 85 royalty on arch “squaro” of tho corrugated work, As whown by somo in- voatigations mado by the Now York Tribune, thla Company covorad the yoof of tho Marine Hospl- wal {u Chleago, buying tho most of its matorial 1ax0 pard of itn fréo lunch to celsbrato the of thd Ansouls Diasg and Copper Company of | alusively shows 0 ba such by prooess o2 a priord, S Ty ool LR W P Now York, Tho firat bill of materlal torwarded to Shophord by this Gompany, for nino cases of bardwaro, was datod Sopt, 25, 1871, and amount- od to 81,047.08. *Fivo daga aftor tho bill was recolved, Bhophord rendorod+an sccount to tho Tronsury Dopartment on thia matorial of §2,- 283,81 and it was sottled, and moro than a yoar aflormard a copy was sent to tho Superintondont of tho bullding in Onloage, and was ‘ontored on bis books. Inaddition to this the Government paid tho 16 por cont profit on tho marked-up prico. Bill No, "9, for copper malls and #crows, wag rondored Oot. 80, 1871, for 81,008.05, and on Nov. 95, 1871, Bhephierd turned in his vouchor for $1,244.28. Thoro wors &lx bills in all, sud all of thom woro marked up in this mannor, oxcopt bill No. 5, smounting to §700.74. No traco of the coppor included in this bi') can bo found, and, it it was ovor shipped from Now York, it was never ro- colved in Ohicago, or used oh tho roof of tho Marino Hospital, In addluion to theso littlo irrogulatitios, a voucher for $7,100.72 was paid, and was slgned by Mullott without beiug sont to tho Buporintondent for his approval. Tho number of squares on tho roof upon which the Governmont puid royalty was at firat monaured 8801, aud, by subsoquent mensuremont, was found to bo 101, upon which the Qovernment paid the additioual royalty. The amount of monoy juvolved in s oporation is emall, but, whoa it is consldered that the Shophord-Mullett rivg hne boon doing this roofing many yoars, ond is atill dolog it wherever public buildings aro In process of eraction, if. thoro s fraud in ono instanco, the prosumptions are that thoro is fraud in othors, Tho Govornor of tho Distriot of Qolumbin not ouly shines s a patent-roofer, but hois also o plumber and & gas-fittor, Ho hos & plumblog: shop in Chicago, onoin 8t. Louie, one in Cin- cinnatl, one wherever & Government building is in process of ercction, Buppose, for instsuco, it i8 necessary to make some plumbing ropairs in the Post-Office at Portland. Mullett, without any advortising, gives the job to Bhepherd. Tho latter ehips his mon and materials from Wash- ington, and opens a plumbivg-shop in Portland, and the Govornment pays tho fares of tho work- men aund tho freight on the material, This ar- rangemont for earrying on roofiug, plumbing, aud gas-fitting for tho Government is 8o com- ploto, and must be so salisfactory to Bhopherd, who lias tho contracts, aud to Mutlett, who lots tho contracts, that it scoms almost a pity to bresk it up, to Mft tho covor and let tho public look into this warm and snug littlo nest and soe the golden eggs hatchod in it, but the blame lies at tho door of Sheplerd. Ho should bave kept Parsone, and Count Fosco, and the DaGolyor Paving Company, and * Brown * more quict, especially Brown," It is intimated that Boss Bhepliord hus known ** Brown " sluco Infancy, and that he hasa high respect for “Brown,” and will have as lonr as ho (tho DBoss) lives, In fact, thia attachment is 8o mu- tual that it would Hardly bo possiblo for Shep- herd to quit this valo of tears withont fatal con- sequonces to ‘* Brown.” It is further intimated alao that Mullett thinks as much of * Brown " o8 hio doos of Bhepkord, and that ho nover lots Shephord bave a contract without asigh for ¥ Brown.” * Brown” also has the ssme pe- culisritios as Shephord, He olso marks up bills and mokes mistakes in measuring \8quares, The DoGolyer Paving Company knows #Brown” justns well as it does Shophord. Count Fosco knows ‘‘Brown” also, Without “Brown” it would be impossiblo for Shopherd to get along, and without Bhephord “ Brown" wounld becors a ~veater myatory than ho is now, Considering the remarkable ligature which binds #“Brown” and Shopherd togather, it is a littlo cnrious thet *“Brown” apposrs alone as the re- cipient of $2,000, and Count Fosco’s note for £8,000 moro, ont of the famous 897,000 paym -, Itiato bo hoped that, before the investigation is over, the testimony may take the quotation morks away from ‘DBrown," and let us know who tho snonymous and mysterious friend of Bhophord ie. It only remains to add that tho roofing opera- tions cf Mullett & Shephord were oxposed by a Committeo of Congress in 1872, et the instanco of Gon. Farnsworth, Instead of taking any fur- ther action, however, the House of Represonta- tivea oficially called tho attention of, the Score- tary of the Treasury to thom, and there tho matter onded, PROF. SWING AND PRESBYTERTAN DISCIP- LINE. 1tis the bonst of Presbytorians that in every couritry whero their Church bas been planted, and in every period of its honorable history, it brs been distinguished for its love of liberty. The adherenta of this Church claim for it that it has always boon the champion, not of that liberty falsoly so called which consiats in cman- cipation from all control, butof liberty undor law, and a8 gecured and dofonded by wholesomo restraints, Thoy point toits history for proof that it has beon. the foo of overy oppression, of overy tyrant, and of overy porsecutor, whothor without or within its own fold. This boast may embody the truth of history, or it may not. Concorning the foundation of thia claim, we do not meed to inquire, Our only concern is with tho olaim itsclf, which is undoubtedly put forth by Presbytorians gonerally in support of their Ohureh, It is doclaredto be s Ohurch vhich loves liborty, whick has conserved itin the pagt, which posgessos it now, and which guarantees it to the weakost momber in her communion. Nor noed it bo donied that, fo framing tho principles of her government and in dofining the torms of her communion—a work which every denomi- nation is nccorded tho right of ‘doing—tho Pres~ byterian Church has takon caro to guarauteo Hberty to her momborship and her minlstry. Especially is this true of her minfatry, It, isn vory serious mattor formully to accuso o minister in this Oburch of moral delinquency or dootrinal unsounduees. The man who does it bocomos himsolf o slanderer, who i{s to be so- voroly consured if he does not prove his acou- sations; and nothing [8 proof except solid, sub- stantial, unimponchieble facts, Hearsay evi- donce s valueless. Proof of whata man doos not do, and does not Eay, is oqually valueless Nor do {nferences which aro drawn from whats man does or 8AyS POBHOBS any value whatever a8 proof. We do not nsk an *goouser of the brethiron " for his logie, but for his facts, If ho have not the facts, thon he and tho man whom %o arralgns must chango places, , Thess romarks have an obvious and important ‘bearing upon tho oxse of Prof. Bwing, A care- ful ronding of tho long and repetitious Indiot- ment upon which be s nrralgned shows very plaluly that his prosccutor comes befora tho Presbytory and agalost him armed withi logle, and not with facte, Blinded by Lis bigotry or by his mallos, or by both, ho sooms to think that or a posleriord, or ontological or teleologicnl ar- gumont, But ho will doubtloss learn, in duo timo, that tho ploa of tho advocate is not evi- donco. Xlo will doubtless lonrn that haforoncos drawn from amibiguons sontonges andt phrasos whiol have beon torn from their connectlon in tho publishod works of tho acoused aro not faots, | It would soom as if tho Gonoral Assombly, which is the Council of highost authority in tho Prosbyterian Ohurch, had taken good care that no auch injustico should over be done to a minls- tor o to condomn him for conalrualive loresy. In 1824, that-body had undor consideration, on appeal from the Synod of Kontuoky, the caso of, the Rov. Thomns B. Craighend, chnrgoed with horesy. In their action uponjthia caso,;the As- sombly laid déwn two principlos which, applied to tho Bwing cage, would go far toward ruling Trof. Patton and his long jumblo of an indict mont out of the Presbytery, Thoy say: A munn cannot fafrly bo convictedof horesy for using oxpressions which moy be 80 intorproted ue to involvo herotical dootrines 1f thoy moy slso admit of o moro favorable construction, bocauso no ono can tell fn what sonso an ambiguous expresslon §s nded but the speaker or writer, and ho hna o right to oxplain himaolf} and, in wuch casos, candorroquiren that & court ahiould favor tho accused by putting on hia words the more favora. ‘bio rathor than tho less favorablo construction, This will commond itselt to all as & sound prin- ciple. But the socond i8 equally true and justs Anothier principle 1s, that no man can rightly bo con- victed of horeay by fnferonco or implicatian ; that i, wo mitst not chargo an aceused porson with holding those consoquences which may legitimately flow from Iis nsacrttons;, and while it is right, {n argument, to overihrow folso opinions by tracing thom in tholr connectiona and consequonces, it is not right to chargo any man with an opinlon which o disavows, By thoso two principlos, lot tho valuo of tho numorous garhled quotations which Prof. Patlon ombodios in his indictmont of Prof. Swing, and on which Qe rolics for securing his conviction for horesy, bo tosted. What will bo the result ?, Every man of averago intolligenco and candor must admit that this indictment, for the purposo of binding n Liorotic, is sbout as good as a ropo of sand or a ray of moonshine, With tho orthodoxy or hetorodoxy of Prof. Swing, a8 mensured by Prosbyterinn standards, wohave no concorn, It is currently roported that bo declares his viows to bo substantially in harmony with those which are held by Prosby- torians genorally. If this bo so, then it is vory ovident that, m Prosbyterian Iaw, his prosecutor lina 10 caso at all, and that he is, What wo boavo bofore intimated that Lo might be, simply a por- socutor, In the very crisis of his nood, he will 1ind oll his proofs escaping from him, as the un- trustworthy mule did from Absalom ; and it will Lo fortunato indoed for bim if he bo not left at tho last in some such undignified plight as wae that ancient mottlesomo and meddiesomo youth himself. MARRIAGE BY P! ¥, e Thors basboon not s little sympathy oxpressed for those unfortunato youthful members of royal families whoso matrimonial alllances are con- tracted for them by thoir olders and superiors for prospective political advantege, sud not a littlo congratulation upon the part of peoplo in humbler sphores that thoy have the privilego of choosing their own partucrs, conducting their own courtships, and mannging their own wed- dings. At tho first blush, thoro is something re- pulsivo in the idoa of having tho liymonepl sffair arrangod by proxy, especially when the princi- pal parties interestod are presumod ‘to take oach other for botter or worse. An examination, +| however, of tho treaty hotween the Queen of marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh aund the Grond Duchess Marie Alexandrovns, which has recently been printed among the Parlinmentary papers, shows that the system is not without its compensations. Those compousations are 80 at- tractive that wo doubt not there are plenty of Americans who would ngree to marry the ugliest girl in all the Bussins for tho samo closs of con- eolations, pectmiary and otherwise, which tho Duke of. Edinburgh and his royal spouse will horeafter enjoy. One sariiclo of this treaty stipulates that Her Imperial Highness shall not be hindered in the full, free, and unre- strained exorcige of the religious profession in which she has boen bronght up, and for this purpose she shail héve clapols whoro she ro- sides and slso in her own apartroents; and she is not oxpected to attond tho cliurchesof lier husband's faith, oxcopt when it i3 nocossary to nesist in coromonies, aud then anly of her own freo will. By this arrangoment an offectual bar is raised against one prolific sourcw of disagreo- mont ‘among couples of differont faiths who do not wenr tho imporial purple, The Duke of Edinburgh is a momber of the En- glish Church, snd his cowsort " & mom- bor of the Greolt Ohurch, and yet wavery pos- sibility of collision has been carefully removed. What a happy arrangoment this weuld be in many instances whore Protestant husb nuds have Catholic wives, snd Unitarian wives h.uve Pres- byterian husbands. The financial arrangements for thiy young couplo, as flxed by the treaty, are very omfort- sble, and will eunble them to set up hou sckeep~ ing in a very handsome manner, Tho m:arriage portion of the Princess, as fixed by the -funda- montal laws of the Empire, is & miliion of roublos, tho interost of which, at 45 por cont, i8 to bo pald to her helf-yrenrly during life, and sho is to bave the scparate: and exclusiyo uso of it. Tnaddition to this, tho Em- peror givos Lior, *as s mark of partioular nfoc- tion," an annual rovenue of 75,000 rou- blos -for lhor soparate, and oxclusive use. As o mork of affection in goneral, ho ilso sots apart another million of roubles, stho interest of whioh at 5 por cent is to bo for her oxclusivouse. She aleo rotaius possossion of hor private fortuno, amountiog to 600,000 rom- bles, In tho event that she survives #ho Duke, the Queen of kngland agrees to glve her £6,000 annunlly during life,—a sum which ought to be a sufficiont inducoment to hor to take good care of hor hoalth. Marle Alexan- drovny, thereforo, hng n enug little fortuno in easgh for hor own exclusive use, amounting to 9,675,000 roublos, or $3,118,250, and au annual in- coms of ©70,000 from hor marrisge portion alone. Adding to this amount the fortuno and incomo of hor Lnsband, and their free house- rent, it will be scon abt onco that thore is uo possible danger of thoir going to the County Poor-Hlouss. They can have heot- atoak and bottled beer threo times a day, run up willinory bills and grocors' bills ad liditum, send thelr ehildren to a private school, have an opern- box and & carriage of their own, get up und go to bod when thioy ploase, and still 1ay aside some- thing for a ralny day.

Mario Aloxandrovnn, heppy woman, hng o chapol of her own, o minister of Lior own, and apartmonts of her own, All thls sung little fortuno wo have mpecified is ior own, and tho Duke can't touch a cent of it. In addition to this, Articlo XV. of the troaty provides that * Hor imporial Highnoss shall lave full right and unquestionable llborty to keop and possoss, for Lor separate use, all the jowels, trinkets, plato, and other articles of valuo bolonging to her at the time of hor mar- rlago, hior ready money, and all real and per- gonnl proporty which she may during the mar- riasge have ncquired and sddod to what she proviously poseestied, whothor by inheritanco, succossion, or 'gift, or in whatovor. meunor and by whatover title, with power o dispose of thom by will or duriug ler life, by any form' of transfor, gift, or donntion, according to her own freo will and pleasure,” When it is considored that with all thoso advemtegos the Duke bas to pay el tho oxpenscs of Lousekeoping out of his | own purao, the apothaosls of woman's rights sooms to Lave Dboen attained; for no woman 8o nicely fixed as this would give tho' suap’ of ler fluger €o wait in & procession ot tho polls for' the inestimable privilege | of excrcising tho rights of the elective fran- chiso. It will appear, therafore, from o calm and unprejudiced survey of the priviloges oxtonded by this marital troaty, that getting married by proxy is mot so droadful after all. Thero are plouty of women, at least, who would bo willing to mako tho exporimont nfter tho fashion of Mario Alexandrovns, and the averago man who wouldn't take tho Duke's chancos must have somo vory novel idens about comfort.
