The Constitution, treating upon the rise and progress of our country. attributes iw greatness to the almost constant supremacy of the Democratic dent organization, latent power, and efficiency, when called into requisition, of our citizen sol- diery.

A man own owning $10,000 of property pays only $6.62 taxes. Georgia is one of the most fourishing States, also, rapidly rising iu manufactures as well as in agriculture. I Indge Pettit, of Kansas, has explained the reason Of his stoppage of sundry courts in his district. He says that the people are anxious to have the courts, but do not provide for the expense. He has notified the Supervisors that he will hold court when oilicially desired todoso. The Judge bas already granted about twenty-five divorces. 9" The Hon. Oliver J. Morgan, of Louisiana, bas presented Bishop Polk. of that State, the handsome sum of $10.000, as the foundation of a professorship of agricultural chemistry in the “University of the South.” This munificent do- nation makes up the entire amount of $500,000 re- quired by the charter for the establishment. of the Proposed University. ARREST ov Steruen D Dittare.—Stephen D Dillaye, the noted New York politician, said to have been implicated in the late extensive forgeries at Pittsburg. Pa . arrived in New York city from Syracuse last Monday evening, in custody of de- tective Devoe. ‘The arrest was made on a reguisi- tion from the Governor of Pennsylvania, and the aeeused was to be forwarded to Pittsburg on Tuesday, in custody of the Chief of Police of that city.

She awoke, and shrieked for assistance; and the fellow. in his haste to retreat, fell out of the win- dow head first, and was taken up for dead, but recovered. 2 17~ From Ditson, the Boston publisher, (through Metzerott,) we have the following new and beau- tifal music pieces: ““Ritlemen Form,” by Tenny- son; “Say Farewell and Go.” words by Miss Mu- lock, (author of “Jon Hallfax Gentleman.”’) music by Geo.

The matter will be attested in a court of law. SS eee Aw Auenicax Horse ror tux Drege or Ma- GExTo.—A meeting of gentlemen was heid in New York, on Monday evening, for the purpose of making arrangements for purchasing a horse and trappings for presentation to the Duke of Ma- genta, Marshal McMahon. The meeting was called to order by Captain McMahon, who stated that he lad already secured fifty subscribers, and would himself lead the list with $25. The horse and mountings will cost some 2,000, and will be Sent to France under charge of a committee.

H. Grimsiaw, Opposition. For Alderman—Jouu Wright, Democrat, 54 ma- jority. For Assessor—John McNeal, Democrat, 50 ma- jority. For Treasurer—J. F. Wilson, Opposition, 89 majority. A very large vote wus polled, and much excite- ment. Last fall, the Opposition carried the elty by 2 large and decided majority. This is a most emphatic endorsement of the administration of Mr. Buchanan by the Democracy of Wilmington. Tus Biste wx rue Pesiic Scaoots in New Yorn.—On Monday, in New York, the day on which the public schools were announced to re- sume their sessions, was looked furward to with muck anaicty by those who have taken an interest in the Biblereadiny qnestion. Asa zeneral thing, the schools were epencd with appropriate exer. eises. In the up-town wards, the exe Telses began, as usual. with the reading of the Bible; but in the lower wards a more recalcitrant disposition was exhibited, and in many of the schools therein its reading, notwithstanding the severe resolution passed by the board, was entirely dispensed with. ‘The teachers in these wards are in a dilemma. If they read the Bible, according to the resolution, they reuder themselves liable to dismissal by the loral boards, and if they do not, their pay is stop- ped by the Board of Education. They consider, however, that they are right in obeying the local boards, which appoint them to their situations. If the board refuse to pay, their redress is in the courts, where, undoubtedly, the matter will soon be brought up.

The authorities of those cities are doing their best to ine@r in Meir municipal laws the motahgieees gland tanism upon the subject of y day. A Targe portion of the peopleiof all ‘three cities, being natives of continental Europe, and others who do not believe in the phil of tying up the roosters on Saturday nights so that they may not gallant the hens on Sundays, are vigorously resisting the efforts of the authorities. In Philadelphia, where there are far more artizans and other mechanical laborers in proportion to the population than in any other great American city, she question in issue is, Shall such as wish to ride on thefhorse railroads on Sundays to neighboring rural retreats be permitted so todo? In St. Louis, the struggle is over closing the lager bier saloons. While we sympathize with those who are for giving the laboring population of Philadelphia all they can ask in the way of facilities for getting ‘outof the heated city—for recreation—on Sundays, we have little sympathy with the cause of the St. Louis lager bier saloons, because believing too many of them to be conducted as hundreds if not thousands in New York are, where most of them are the most shameless and dangerous dens of vice conceivable. Yet we are no believer in the propriety of mu- nicipal legislation to interfere with innocent pop- ular recreation on Sundays. Three-fourths of the American world are without any other time what. ever for recreation, and if not permitted, and indeed encouraged to enjoy innocent recreation when they can, the idle day in the week of a large proportion of them will be a day for in- dulging in vice and excess secretly. It is the duty of the municipal authorities to take due care that the places open for Sunday recreation are properly conducted. There their real duty ends. Glasgow, in Scotland, is the city where by force of municipal regulation Sunday is more strictly observed than anywhere else in the world. Yet in Glasgow the proportion of drunkards in the population is greater than anywhere else in the world; while its statistics also prove that there vice of all kinds is more rife than in any other city In the world. So, nothing whatever is gained by its ordinance requiring even little children to be “taken up” if found walking in the streets for exercise on Sunday. The New York Herald mentions the fact that the statistics show that in France the average number of erjininals {s one in every 6,000 of tue population; while in Massichu- setts the statistics show that one in every 2,257 isa conviet. Massachusetts “keeps Sunday,” it wil! be recollected, well nigh as strictly as Glasgow does; while in France the laboring people spend Sunday afternoon and evening as they please, so long as they violate no law made for their govern- ment during the rest of the week. pcre Pea Tury axp Now.—The Lontsville Journal, com- menting upon the recently-published magazine article. from the pen of Senator Douglas, takes oceasion to coutrast its leading position with that of the never-to-be-fo. gotten Freeport speech of the same gentleman, as follows: ** When Mr. Donglas, fresh from Free} rt, spoke at Memphis about the Ist of jast December, and at New Orleans a few days afterwards, he took the ground that Southern inen have a right to take their slaves to the Territories, and to hold them there a8 property during the Territorial condition, and that it would be a great wrong for the people to exeinde slavery by non-legisiation or unfriendly legislation, but that it would be such a wrong us there would be no power to remedy. At this time, however. Mr. Douglas, if we understand him, maintains the full and pergect right of the people of the Territories to manage the whole question of slavery for themselves—maintains that, if they don’t want slavery, they not only have the power to rule it out and keep it out, but may exercise that power without giving just cause of complaint to Southern men or anybody else.”* The Journal's criticism is pertinent and correct to the letter. Its comparison shows plainly enougk: that Mr. Douglas. as we have often taken occasion to explsin, is gradually climbing high enough up on the abolition platform to be an available anti- slavery contestant for the favors of the Republican party voters in 1960. 6 gare Tux Witnpgawn Laps in IsaBeLLa County, Micnicax.—Under the provisions of the Chip- pewa treaty of August 2, 1855, the Indians are entitled to six townships of land in Isabella conn- ty, Michigan, in which county a body of land is withheld from sale awaiting the selection for the Indians. The townships selected under the treaty have been designated to the Land Office by the Indian Otfice, but a large portion of the selected townships having been disposed of by the Gen eral Government before the withdrawal, a quan. tity equal to that disposed of will have to be selected from the contiguous lands, and as soon as the selections for the deficiency shall have been reported to the General Land Office, the lands not required under the treaty will be restored to market. a eee Aamy Istetricexce.—Lieut.

It was.also understood that if the treaty should be ratified on this basie Mr Me- Lane himself would return with it to Washing- ton. The main points of the treaty probably are : The right of way acrossthe Northern States of Mexico, from the Rio Grande to Mazatlan; and from Arizona to Guaymas or some other outlet in the Gulf of California, the United States to have the privilege of transporting troopsand munitions of war over these routes, and to protect the latter in case of Mexico’s inability todo so. In consid- eration of these grants, the United States to pay $1.000,000, one-half to be appropriated for the sat- isfaction of the claims of American citizens against Mexico. General Harney has acquainted Lieut General Scott with all the circumstances attending bis oc- cupation of the Island of San Juan. It appears he bad not been previously ig assert instructed to take possession, but sent troops thither to pro- teet the twenty-five or thirty Americans residing there, who had been included in the taxation limits by the authorities of Washington Territory.

During bis residence on the island there have been quite a number of murders com- mitted there and in the immediate vicinity, and the American residents on the island deemed it ‘oper for their safety to ask the protection of their their action, the island was visited se Gen. Harney, the American com- mander-in-chief of the Pacific division, who, in fortherance of orders of his Government, exam- ined the island ratory to making a perma- nent location of a portion of bis command at that int. The most im int event has been the rece; tion by ey 33 ickett of an order from the Hud- son’s Bay ompany to remove his force from the Isiand. Capt. P. replied that while he did not nize their authority to make the demand, he would state that he received his orders frou the U. S. Government, and should occupy the Island until recalled by the same authority. Capt. Pickett raised the American flag at Chapultepec in the Mexican war, isa brave cautions officer, and will go as far as duty and honor require. The British steamer of war Tribune had re- mained in the harbor since the commencement of ‘hostilities,’ with her broadside commandi the shore. The latest dii bh from the ‘‘seat war’? states that the British steamer Pinmper had arrived witha large number of soldiers from New Westminster. No troops were landed from her and it was believed that nene would be. The U. S. revenue cutters Jeff Davis and Massachusetts had also arrived. An extra session of the British Colonial Assem- bly had been called to receive a message from Governor Douglass in relation to San Jnan affairs. Ostensibly, the message was for the information of the House, and, according to the Colonist, it was really to secure 2 vote of confidence in favor cf the Executive. Some tntlammatory remarks were made regarding the invasion of San Juan, of which advantage was taken to secure the vote of confidence. ‘This was objected to on the ground that the subject was so important that it required time for consideration. The opposition to the vote of confidence triumphed, and the question was postponed until the Sth ult., when it was to be again made the subject of consideration. {xotan News From New Mrxico.—A Santa Fe correspondent, writing on July 9, says: “Our townswnen, R, 1.
