Logan Once More on the Warpath. THE STANTON STORY PROVED. FALSE WasiinaTon, June 3, 1872, In the Senate to-day Mr. Carpenter made a forcl- ble and full reply to Mr. Sumner in his speech before the same body on Friday last. Mr. Pomeroy obtained the floor and yiclded it to the Senator from Wisconsin, who at once proceeded with his task of answering the Senator from Massachu- setts :— Re caid that the Senate nad been quietly procceding with the public business when the preamble and resolu- tion introduced by Mr, Sumner in relation to the sales of arms came upon the Senate like a clap of thunder outofa clear sky, As soon as the preamble and resolution were read every friend of the administration saw ‘that a full investigation was necessary, and the resolu- tion could have been passed in ten minutes, but Mr. Sum- ner, by insisting on the preamble, forced, upon the Senate a debate of two weeks, though at the end of the debate he Became ashamed of the preamble and voted to lay iton ie table, Mr. Carrenter had extracts from the Globe read to how that he had declared himself in favor of the tullest an MOST SKARCHING UNVESTIGATION, and that every Senator subsequently placed on tho com- mittee voted for the investigation. He argued from the anuer in which the committee proceeded that investigation was fair, and full, and com- Plete; therefore, he sald, when the Senator from Massa- chusetts denounsed the’ report. of the, commitice as & whitewashing report, he Violated all'the decenctes of parliamentary Mie, and all the trun that should guide and govern aid control a gentleman. It was apparent froin the first, however, and the subsequent course of the Senator from'Massuchusetts had shown that his object Was not to have a Jull and fair investigation of the arms sales, butto make a deliberateve, PREMEDITATED MALICIOUS ASSAULT, upon the administration without regard to truth or, : In reviewing the course of the investigation, Mr. Carpeu ter read Mr. Sumner's statementin his protest against be- §ng called asa witness; that under other circumstances he ald willingly submit not only his con- duct in this matter, but the conduct of his whole public life to. the —_ closest —_sserutin: nd congratulated him upon his singularly virtuous co: litions, saying that never before since the lowly Nazarene walked beneath the palms of Palestine had a man appeared on earth, except the Senator from Massa- chusetts, who could say, “every act, every lett idle word of my past Iifé meets my present appro! Waughter.) Atthis point an enthusiastic gentleman in the gallery applauded loudly, and forcibly resisting the attempt of the doorkeeper to put him out, protesting that it was in violation of the coustitution. Passing to Mr. Schurz’s speech, reviewing the report of the Arms Cominittee, Mr. Carpenter said the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Schurz) was clearly a philosopher. and an within the jcotchman’s a Bas ofa suntaphyaicel losopher—“ong who talks about what no! 1 stands and what apparently he “cp ? if \ ‘ DOKS NOT UNDERSTAND HIMSELF. ~ Fortunately the most brilliant discourse, the most strik- ing rhetoric, If not founded on fact or reason, could not make a revolution in this country, and the Senator from Missouri ought not to fail to consider this, because what he afmed. at was nothing. less than a” rover lution. ‘That Senator had = drawn a dole- 1 picture of our present condition, and saw at tie Feport of the Arms Committee indicated an un- (li political atmosphere, and certainly the atmo- sphere here did seem very offensive to the Senator's nostrils, especially since his return from the pure ether innati, where not an ofMeo seeker went and af those Who did go not one would hold an office fortorty years: (Leuenteg.)

Mr. Canrexrre then made a lengihy legal argument in reply to Mr. Schurz’s argument on Friday and in support of the report of the Arms Committee.

I have already shown how the Senator trom Massachusetts sailed by it only a passing and contemptuous glance, and contin through a column of personal abuse to’ the Chiet Ma: of this nation. The subject was first introduced Senate for mere clap-trap and party purposes. It | ot to investigate the iacts. Tsay the whole history F ustifies that’ statement.

Why, Mr. ator irom Massachnsetts has put him- cif in a position where he not only invites but compels examination and attention. ‘The Senator from Massa- chusetts has been a long time in public life. He has been — for hag 4 years associated with those measures which have finally triamphed ripened into success in the entranchisement of four millions of colored people, In this country he has lon, by alt rij i 1 respected by many, and for many year mnluded Union citizens. “But tt has happened with hint a it has happened with many men, that the constant fumes of praise trom all sources, public and private, the _and hourly burning of | tee ast oar Perea? ~ ~$RCENSI, UNDER JU$ Nostuiis Was TORNED W118 NRAD, and hé iid Réting to be capable of investigating an, question apart from himself, dle has J reported) not only an admirer but an tinitator of Burke, aud it is sate io say that #n preparing this great hilippic he had before him the etfort of Burke n the, impeachinent of Warren, Hastings.

He opens as follows :—"'T do not kno) thatit ts the first ardicle of impeachment, but it Gorh naiurally in order, because if we are going to Invesliga the President at all, we naturally go up to the White House, and the tratghing that would ogeur would be, the surroundings of th@ White House.” The Senator from Massachusetts assert) that it has been . TURNED INTO A MILITARY IEADQUARTERS. I suppose that Is the reason why the Senator from Massa. chusetis dare not go there. (Laughter.) I am told that he has not been there for many years. This single charge furnishes an opportunity to show the monstrous cxag Rerution. of that Senator's eech. What are the facts? The “President bas to-day in the White House, in various employments, three army ers. General Babcock, as major of 'the Engineer ps, is assigned under an’ act of Congress to discharge 4 ‘of Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds, has his room at_ the White House And occasonally assists. the President. General Dent and General Vorter are aides-decamp on the staf! of General Sherman. ‘They were the friends and members of the military {amily of General Grant during the war.

He had not been a he had no military alliances and connections-— no friendships or ues to bind them 6 him; but he had de- tailed for his services in the White House four army officers. The White House was YATROLLED BY SENTINELS DAY AND Nicht. So was the War Department and so was the house of Sec- Feagy 2 Seward. The first night General Grant slept in ‘i soldier, the White House, after he bad retired, he heard a tramp Which sounded to him like the tramp ot soldiers on the floor below, = Presently he heard” an’ order, “Halt” “Order 5 arms,’ and a crash of inuskets On the floor. Not understand ing. pre. cisely what that warlike operation meant, General Grant jumped up and went down stairs to Investigate. He found with a squad of soldiers. He asked what Meer th ls Au thatineant The officer said itwas the guard of the all that meant White House. They had been detailed there for months ind stationed all through the night i the bails of the White House. Grant said to the officer that He WOULD TRY TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF, and ordered iim and his soldiers to their quarters, and waited (ill they left, and locked his door and went to be Iinmediately,"thereaiter General Grant teeued an order disthissing al hese kentinels . vice at the.

These are the facts of the case, Three gentle —General Babcock, Gener: ‘orter and General Dent—gentlemen in their manners and appear. without acent’s additional bay influenced only by of General Grant personally, assist him, not recretaries in any officialemployment. The attempt bi be-n inade here to dignity this thing: to pet these men ‘ou some official courtesy ; to give them a national char- ation, and show that the President was ing all law under his feet. They are clerks of the President, his mere assistants, and their service is rendered, so far as they render service to him, trom pure triemdsbip andlove of the man, not costing the government one dollar, because, If O eral Grant was to turn them out of doors to-morrow, wh would be the result?

To the dishonor of the civil ser- vice and in total disregard of precedent the President surrounded himself with officers of the and substituted military forms for those of civil life, detailing for this service members of bis late staff.” Al low me to call attention axain to this precise language, and here let me say that this speech of the Senator trom Massachusetts is not to be estimated as you would esti- nate a speech thrown off in the neat of an extempore de- ate. THUS WRATH WAS CAREFULLY DISTILLED. This speech was composed atan immense expense of midnizhtoil. [twas written, it was printed in pamphlet form long before it came into the Senate. It was read by the Senator from printed slips at his desk. Not a word, therefore, of that careless kind which we are charitably disposed towards in the heat of dehate. Here ts a de- literate arraignment, and what is here ixeither deliberate truth or deliberate falsehood, one or the other, when he alleges, as he dees here, that “to the dishonor of the civil service and in total disregard of precedent the President surrounded himself with officers of the army and substi- tuted military torms for civil life, detailing for this service members of his Inte stafl.”’ The tor from Massachusetts revised, corrected, printed, published and sent to the world adeliberate truth or a deliberate false- heod—which? Was there no precedent for his being served by a few cierks, who were willing to serve him without pay, for mere personal affection? Had not An- drew Johnson had four army officers detailed for service in the White House? Had riot AXDREW JONNSON GEKN SURROUNDED WITH SERTINELS, and the whole thing put in the position almost of a fort or a fortification ? and in all the complaints that were made against Andrew Johnson did apy man charge hin with violating “the law having his house protected at nigat by sentinels? Was there any complaint made upon the ground that three or four army officers were serving him in the capacity of Clerks In the White House, If there was Thever heard of it, and yet we know that in that_heated and angry time those men who opposed Andrew Johnson Were not chary of the charges they, brought against him and yetsuch a thing was never lald to his charge, And et, a8 Thave shown, instead af what has been done and is ‘now being done, being without a precedent, it is less in every respect than was done during the ‘en- tire administration of Mr. Johnson, withouteriticism from anybody whatever. But, again, this {s a charge that the Executive Mansion has assumed the character of military headquarters—that he has substituted military forms for those of civil life. T take it to be the duty of this Senate, T take it to be the duty of the members of the other house, J take it to be the duty of all lovers of justice who reside for a portion of the year in Washington and know tho thets to bear testimony to, the American people whother this arraignment ot President Grant isa truth or A falsehood. Senators! Tow has the White Touse been made to as- suine the character of military headquarters? Do you encounter any sentinel at the door? Do you see any orderly on the stairs? Do you sve a gan or a musket or a shoulder strap in the White House, from top to bottom ? Notone! The whole charge is baseless asa dream, ‘Then came the Senator to the great crime of nepotism and recelving gifts, Well, I do not propose to waste much time on clther of these subjects. Nepotism is a pretty large phrase, and would include a good many of us in its just application, Tam not aware that it Is any worse for @ man to procure his brother to be appointed 10 some place if he is fit for it than it fs to pro- re a particular friend of hls o be appointed to tho pluce cause be isa friend. In prinetple there is no ditter- ence between the two cases. It may be thatif we were exercising that ROMANTIC SPARTAN SIMPLICITY OF MANNER which will come aster the millenium, when the Senator from Ma:sachussets and the Senator from Missouri shall be installed at the White House, some such thing might be attempted, but really in truth and in the practical course of business in this country the thing is a fittle too fine to deserve serious attention, Receiving gifts, wnat is there in that? Simply this. The whole subject. 1s the spontaneous testimony of the American people to the higgardly compensation paid by our government for pub- le Service. Our people felt, when the war closed, when their hearts were warm and their gratitude was bubbling up towards those men who had saved the nation, its honor, its material prosperity and wealth—all established hy their efforts and by their hiood—that the salaries fixed by law wero inadequate and a shameful compensation, and the citizens spontaneously raised A FUND FOR GENKRAL MCLELLAN, they raised a fund for (leneral Sherman, they ralsed funds for other ofléérd, which they all accepted, not with anybody's censure, not in the dark, not under concealment, bufopen proxefitment by commissioners who waited upon ‘these distinguished officers and made the ‘elig with the applause of the press and the people.

That does not sustain the charge made by the. Senator from Massachusetts in. the spirit tn which it js made.

Tao nat propose to goextensivery MEOUE. {he St. Do- mingo performance again. We had it tutly uw ou Senate in secret session, and in open session. The Senator trom Missouri labored at great length in open session to show that the President of the United States had for a long time been levying war upon the republic of Hayti, and the Senator from Massa- chusetts dwelt with .Thave no doubt, he thought was inspiration, but which was undoubtedly at most only 4 repetition of some ancient writer, who says" there is no fuch thing asa small war.” He allowed the Senator from Missouri to establish the fact that there had been a | war, and then he raised up antiquity to say that there hi, could be no small war. Well, take the two Senators to- gether, and what resultedy' Why, that General Grant Proweclited a gront war ugainst, Hayti for months, Now, iS that really so? or there is a little exaggeration about that, too? Is that subject to the same deduction and discount’ yon have to make regard to the White House having been turned into a. fort and civil life having lost ite appearance entirely in the inilitary arrangements for defence which General Grant has raised. to defend himself against the assaults of the ator from Massachusetts and the Senator from Missouri. It needs just the same deduction. General Grant, It must be, understood, knew something about the mcthods of war, Had the Senator trom Massachusetts been President of the United States, and wanted to levy a war upon Hayti, tt is very probable that he would have done It in as gentle a manner as Grantis alleged to have done this. But General Grant manages war in a dif_erent fashion. He was Commander. In-chief of the army and Navy, and if he meant to make war upon Haytt he knew how to do it. But, sir what was there of that great war upon Maytl? When it was finally ciphered down on the investigation, and the ultimate frets ascertained, the only acts ever done by any naval officer which could be tortured into @ prosecution of war was the firing a rocket from the deck of & man-of-war in the waters near the Haytien Island; So that we are to be told thatGeneral Grant, a chiettain Of some reputation and experience in command of the army and pavy of one of the greatest nations on the earth, levied a war upon that helpless island for months, and if the distorted rhetoric of the Senator from Massa: chusetts, a great war too, Nota sold! marched, not rin See beaten tiene ay Pie Nop A PSCRMY Vistot. was Drawn from its’ “Socket—only one — skyrocket Alscharged from a man-ot-war.

(Laughter) That while he governs the universe, while He rolied the orbs and thelr spheres, He also attended to the wants of His children, and that’ not even a sparow could fall without His knowledge, But another great offence of the President is that he is so quarrelsome, Mr. Sumner says. Evidently our Prest- dent has never read the eleventh commandment: —“A President of the United States shall never quarrel.” At least he lives in perpetual violatiou of it, listening to STOMIES PKOM HORSE CARS, Fodbling the kcssip of his military ring, discoursing on Imaginary gricts and wursing his unjnst anger. The elect orty millions of people has no right to quarrel with ly. His position is too exalted. He cannot do it Without offence to the requirements of patriotism, with. outa shock to the decencies of lie, without @ jar to the harmony of the universe, Mr. President, itis one of the ecommonist, but by no means the greatest, error into which the Senator from Massachusetts has fallen that he identifies himself so compretely with the universe that he Is not at all certain whather fe is part of the universe or the universe Is tof him. (Laughter.) He asserts here, that when President“ quarrely with —him—of thatis what he means—he did not mention himscl!, but he neyer means anything but himseli—and when he'was speaking of the President quarreling he meant that great quarrel ‘that the Preident has been made the victim of, and has patiently and quietly, aubmitted | to ever since the Senator from Massachusetts turned in wrath upon him, and determined to have a quarrel with him. He says that such a quarrel Jars the harmony ofthe universe, Well, well! the Senator from Massachu- setts might be jarred 6 great deal worse than he has been and the universe not tuke the slightest notice of it. (Laughter.) The universe would not tremble if he was used @ great deal worse than he has been, This is one of those stupendous, UNUTTERABLE, INCONCEIVABLE EVIDENCES OF THE HUMILITY of the Senator from Massachusetts which I wish I could readin the hearing of every man in’ this land. But, Mr. President, this not the highest | point of ‘the arrogance and the assumption of this para- graph. It ig not that he has mistaken himself for the universe that anybody will seriously complain. But he hastaken higher ground. He has risen in this paragraph above the universe. Tie has seated himself be- side the Almighty, and entered upon a revision, corree- tion and enlargement of his works, Evidently our Pri dent has never read the eleventh Comman course ent. Now, then, comes the quotation—From whom t, “A President of the United States shall never quarrel.” This is the addition the Senator from Massachusetts puts into the decalogue; writes into the body of laws given by God to man amid the thunders of Sina, I hold in my hand the sacred volume which contains the revelations ot man’s latest existence on carth, and penetrates the veil and records many mysteries beyond John on the Taland of Patmos, being In the spirit, on the Lord's day saw many things, clean and unclean, He saw the Senator trom Massachusetts—(aaghter)—and embraced the opportunity with a view to prevent the blasphemy which we have repressed in this Chamber at the conclu- sion of thisgreat volume, which contains the light of our life in’ this world ‘and our guide to a better abod ve. We have written these words of awful con- doimnation, whieh Icommend to the earoful study of the Massachusetts it he shall ever come back to the Senate :—'For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the propecy Of this book. Ifany man shall add unto these things GOD SHALL ADD UNTO TIM THE PLAGUES that are written in this book; and if any man shall take away front the words’ of the Book. of the Prophecy God shall take away his part out of the Book of Lite amd out of the Holy City and from the things which are written in this book.” ‘The Senator from Massachusetts, reviser and corrector of the decalogue, how regret that you caunot hear this passage of Scrip: ture (additional laughter). Why, if the presumption of the Senator should oily reach ohé button foie higher you might find onthe book stalls’ a work with some such title as this:—“Tthe Sermon on the Mount,” revised corrected. and greatly enlarged and im- proved by Charles Sumner. Laughter.) It would, to be sure, be a shght ‘tampering with the Gospel, but that Is what he has done with the decalogue, and the one is as modest, asdecorous and as blasphemous as the other, But suppose, that on caretul vestigation of the facts, {t appears that allthe quarrel that, existed between the Senator, from, Massachusetts and the President of the United States is ‘A QUARREL MADE. BY THE SENATOR, and that it grew out of reasons or motives inworthy of him. Iam sorry he ianot here that he might correct me it Cam wrong; butT am (old thatthe first trouble that arose between’ Im and the administration was in regard to a great mission. It was filled by gentleman who performed his duties to the satisfaction of the government, and on the accession of this ndminis. tration the ‘Senator from Massachusetts demanded that place for a friend of bis in Boston, and demanded it upon the ground that that friend had been his life-long friend, It so happened that the administrati not humor Senator qh the Hittin ti poh er that ~ entirely | sufficient. That was ~ tbo first dificuity. Then came, the removal of Mr. Motley as Minister to England. That matter was consid: ered in secret session, and I cannot refer to anything that took place. I cannot'say whether or not the Senator from Massachusetts in the debate declared that the appoint. mentof Motley had been conceded to him as chairman of the Committee of Foreign Relations.

A telegram from Trieste, forwarded through the Atlantic cable yesterday, informed the HERALD that Charles James Lever,«the novelist, had just ex- pired in the Austrian seaport city. He wasin the sixty-third year of his age. Mr, Lever’s health had been declining during some few years past. His worldly circumstances were not in an exactly pleasing condition, so that the genial heart and busy brain and fertile pen which have “tickled the town” with their creations of Irish character and descriptions'of peninsular battle scenes, from Charles O’Malley ‘and Mickey Free to the re- port of the organization and action of the “forlorn hope” for and at the assault on Ba- dajos, have ceased to throb and gone to rest during the hours of sunset of a life which was checkered by the alternations of hope, joy and disappoint- ment, as are the moments of the close of a spring or autumn day under the sky of his native land, with variations of gloom, of sorrow, of sunshine and of showers, the latter sent forth in the tears of many dear and disinterested friends, = The very latest work, ‘Lord Kilgobbin,” which came from the pen of the gifted writer whose dashing heroes and heroines have engaged the sympathies of a generation, has been just issued in New York. It was noticed at length in the HERALD yester any. Its pages betray on the part of the au- hor the consciousness of @ coming change in his mortality. Call it inspiration, revelation, religious divination or what else we may, Lever knew that he Was about to die. He described the sensation and depicted his personal situation in the following lines sent forth under the shadow of domestic bereave- ment. The dedication of “Lord Kilgobbin,” dated from Trieste, January 20, 1872, reads t!

There is one other passage which serves to render the figure still more applicable to himself. It reads :— “and the reward for it all 1s, to be ridden like a steeple- chaser!” sighed old Kearney. That the world over? Break down carly and you are a good-for-nothing. Carry on your spirit and your pluck and your endurance toa green old age, and may be they won't take it out of y always contrasting you, however, with yoursell long ago und telling the bystanders what a rare beast you were in your good days.’ Charles James Lever was born in Dublin, Ireland, in the year 1809 His father was an architect. He was & man of care und method; one who perceived and estimated the character of his son when the lad was quite young. He destined him for the medical profession and endeavored to bend his mind in that direction. After enjoying a careful preliminary education, and having proved himself a very quick and apt scholar, without being a book worm or student, Charles J, Lever entered Trinity College, attended the lecture courses, dissected in the surgery, applied for examination, was success- ful in the competition and took his degree in medi- cine, During the recess of the English institution he made tours to Germany, and, subsequently to his graduation at home, visited Gottingen, ob- served a course of studies in a famous university and obtained a degree there. Returning to Great Britain he studied human character. He appeared, indeed, to understand it at sight. The exercise of this faculty did not bring him in very many guineas, however. He courted society, was a favorite in its best «circles, formed an extensive round of aristo- cratic acquaintances, and thus obtained a certain amount of interest with the ruling classes, a fact that tended to console him for the absence of pa- tents. It furnished him with ai iats car: acters from life, introduced him to the men who had fought and beaten the great Na- oleon, eh the cholera broke out in ireland in -the year 1832 Mr. Lever was appointed by the government medical superintendent of an extensive and populous district in the North, which included the city of Londonderry apd the towns of Newtownlimivady and Coleraine, and took in many of the dispensary relief districts which preceded the complete working of the British poor- law system in the island. He was exceedingly at- tentive in the discharge of his duties, accurate and punctual in his statistics and reports, and inde- pendent and fearless in his |e ald of hy; enic rule and the law, as is known by the personal remembrance of the writer of this sketch, who, although a lad at the time, stood beside him on a couple of occasions in the temporary hospitals in which he made his notes and administered the sanitary rules of the executive. During his residence in Londonderry and Coleraine Lever took sketches of many of his more prominent book characters from nature, and stored his mind with the traditions—ghostly and of 1ove—which prevail among the peasantry of the rugged coast. Here he met the genuine Irish priest of the day—hospita- ble, humorous, shrewd, political, and anxious for the maintenance of the rights of his successors in the pastorate in the matter of an exact enforce- ment of the regular payment of “dues.” The reverend gentlemen live off the altar in Lever’s sketches. Lever's professional services at this time attracted the attention of the gov- ernment strongly and favorably towards him, He was found to be a very useful officer, without being amartinet; and an original discipUnarian, ruling by the exercise of his good nature, without being an imitator. He was promoted iu conse- quence, When the cholera visitation had abated he was attached to the British Legation in Brussels in the capacity of physician, While in this commis- sion he produced *flarry Lorrequer.”? It was com- menced as asertal and proved a decided success, His descriptions of Irish jife and character were a cepted as true and almost faultless, and Charles Lever stood forth as the embodiment of the ipsis — Hivernes MHiverntores—more Irish than the Irish themselves—on the continent of Europe and in Engiand. This encouraged him =It put money in his pocket, and this he almost ever wanted. He Went to work with a will, Other novels followed, mostly in the sertal shape. “Charles O'Malley,” “Jack Hinton,” “Our Mess,” “The O'Donoghue,” “St. Patrick’s Eve,” “Roland Cashel,” “The Knight of Gwynne,” “The Daltons,? “The Doda Family Abroad,” “Arthur O'Leary,’’ with the rest, came forth in rapid succes- sion, The pencil of the late Hablot Browne was called to his aid in illustrating the books, and it is no streteh of imagination to say that the civilized world has been made to langh and weep alternately by-the joint efforts of their genius. Lever ac- cepted the editorship of the Dublin University Magazine while he was engaged in the produc- tion of the above-named works. He continued in this capacity from 1842 to 1845, contributing to the pages of the publication. He was well paid, but he was not economical. His style of living ex eceded his income by its expenditure, and his home- controlling influences did not aid or encourage him toward retrenchment. After experiencing many local difficulties he left Great Britain and retired to the Continent. Before this, on the strength of his large salary and prospective profits of his works, he commenced living in a lordly style in Dublin, His horses, eaulpagea and liveried grooms made the Lord Lieutenant's “turnout” appear shabby in com- parison, His entertainments were in equally magnificent style. His residence was at Templeogue House, a litle way out of Dublin—the former seat of Lord Palmerston’s father, in the days when Ireland had a separate Legislature. After keeping up this routine for several years, to the astonishment of Dublin, it became apparent that Mr. Lever was try- ing his speed with a well known local public func- tionary, and the result was he “‘outran the consta- ble” and retired from Ireland Just in time to avoid the touch of the bailiff. He made his first forcign establishment at a castle iu the Tyrol, but removed mabepaea ety to Florence. The late Lord Derby appointed him British Vice Consul at Spezzia. This was on November 26, 1858, He was transferred to Trieste in the month of February, 1867, ‘The Diar; of Horace Templeton,” Con Oregan, an Irish Gi Blas,” “One of them,” “Barrington,” ‘‘Luttrell of Av- ran,!? “A Day’s Ride,” “Sir Brooke Fosbrooke”—the latter 01 published in Blackwood ara were printed anonymously for reasons which Lever could not control. They are classed among the very best of his works issued previous to “Lord Kiigob- bin.” And so rests Charles Leve: ben f and many an Irish heart will in after days, amid scenes of Joyous festivity, console his gpirit, by the utterance amid the cheer of the words of Moore's ra. tion whe: me kind friend will whisper I wish he were here.” 4 oe Abraham Lowensteini, a child three years of age, ‘whose parents live at 60 Mulberry street, was accl- dentally killed by falling down two flights of stairs on Sunday might, Coroner Herrmangvas called to hojd an inquests The Great Spirits of the Philadelphia Convention Slowly Trooping In.

Where the Leading Delegates Can Be Found. PHILADELPHIA, June 8, 1872, The delegates from many States are still behind hand, and the bulk of the Convention comes up slowly. There being little to do not already prede- termined this gathering lacks the charm and stimulus of uncertainty, Nobody can laya wager; there is nothing to bet upon. Colfax started in the “race” so far ahead that itis problematical whether people with warmer friends can catch up to him, and the only issues developed to-day were not very startling, because they may result in nothing, WHATS UP NOW? The first of these ig a feeble and dis- couraged movement to try the virtue of @ square bolt on Grant. This prop- osition, sneezed down in the birth, began among the Connecticut people. The late re-elec- tion of Ferry over Hawley there has had the effect of demoralizing the friends of both, Hawley is not very respectful to the President and severe upon Grant’s oftice-holders in that State, while Ferry’s friends are emboldened at the prominence they have attained and the astounding success of their late manmuvre,; and to-day a Mr. ‘Train, understood to represent the New Haven Palladium, said if any man had the pluck to start it Grant could be beaten, as not more than half the delegates were at heart in his favor. When asked whom could be substituted for Grant, Train replied, “Colfax,” and it came out that some of these Nutmeggers’ wanted the ticket to be Colfax and Hawley. General disgust greeted ie conclusion to what looked at first to be revolu- onary. The Ohio delegation is bata | in a good-na- tured way over the idea of withdrawing Dennison altogether and substituting Henry Wilson, Denni- son was eepanies to to-day and advised to reply, giving his whole support to Henry Wilson. He had not been heard from up to the middle of the after- noon, COLFAX'S WESTERN FRIENDS. In the West Colfax has not retained popularity, although his old antagonist Morton is now anx- ious to see him nominated so as to get him out of the way Holloway, Morton’s brother-in-law, is ardent for this result, but in Northern Indiana sey- eral delegates are captious and prefer Wilson. Smith, a Washington negro oficeholder and body- servant of Colfax, is drumming up the colored men for him, The majority of the Southern negroes are for Henry Wilson. Wilson’s friends accuse Colfax of insincerity, and say that he advised and urged Henry Wilson to work to be his (Colfax’s) successor in view of Coltax’s certain declination. Wilson says he will not be made a fool of now. WHERE THE DELEGATION WILL STAY. The headquarters of the several delegations will be as follows:— Delegatio Hotels, Alabama La Pierre. Arkansas.

COLFAX'S CHANCES FOR RE-ELECTION. The Hvening Telegraph, the only tolerably advised authority in this purblind and instinctive city, says to-night :— 7 is, as yet, but little light on the question of the view Brewdenty., Tt is conceded that cr Colfax starts out with by far the largest but many deny that he ts likely to be nominated, He will have at the start 14 votes instructed for him, and besides these scattering votes from other States, which will run him up ‘to about 200. Henry Wilson, on the otherhand, has only fifty-two in- structed votes, but from developments he will pick tp at Jeast fifty more on the first ballot, and possibly double that number if the South comes up for him in anythin like the strength thatis claimed.

The Trinitarian Quakers convened yesterday morning in joint conference. The business for which the session was called was the reception of the report of the representative committee, which included the reports from several standing com- mittees. The report on the education of the feedmen in the South was first read, and proved so interesting that we regret to be obliged to give simply a digest of its contents :— EDUCATION OF TU FREEDMEN. On assuming the duties again confided to them, the committee had renewed their engagement with Samuel H. Jones as Superintendent of Coio red Schools in Virginia for another year. At the time of their last report thirty- six schools were in operation. ‘The examination at the close of the schoo! term in sixth month (June) last showed results that were very gratifying. In the seventh month: Guly) nineteen schodls were opened, mostly under, the care of colored teachers. By auturnn'eleven of these wero * ermanently placed under the care of the County Super. Intendent, to be wholly supported by the school fund and. ; the freedmen. New schools continued to be opened aa the means of the committee permitied, and wore in turn transferred to the support of the people of the counties as. rapidly as they were prepared to accept them. The report includes a highly interesting letter from a woman who is teaching a school of colored ildren on the James River, in the Old Dominion,, She represents that the authorities, instead of aid- ing the cause of education, do all in their power toy. prevent the successful operation of the schools for the negroes, aud treat the Northern teachers, 0! whom she is one, with every Insult. The letter im some parts is very pathetic in tone. She has been there since the surrender of Richmond, Shi strongly urged the retention of the education: agent of the Quakers, Sa:nuel H. Jones, in his pret ent position, as he was greatly needed in the work: of befriending the poor black children, who were very anxious to obtain knowledge. SLAVERY IN BRAZIL AND SPAIN. The Peis then continues, that in 5th month (May) circular letter had been received by several members the committee as well as by friends in other parts of the: United States, signed by Joseph Cooper, of England, whiel expressed the conviction of himself aiid his associates of the Anti-Slavery Committee that the present was a sutt- able time forthe moral influence of America tobe brought to bear, in favor of the abolition of slavery iny Spain aad Brazil, by the presentation addresses to the "governments and people of those countries, A communication from the Friend's Freedman’s Association had shortly afterward suggested: @ memorial to the King of Spain. Tt was accordin hy Pa pared and sent forward as the united expression of all the {arly meetings of Hriends in the United States, Anothcy otter was received from Joseph Cooper, dated the 20th of May, recounting the kind and cordial ‘reception which was given the bearer of the document at Madrid by the King of Spain. At the close of the report the Conference ordered: that the Superintendent of Colored Schools in Vir- - nia, Samuel H. Jones, be retained in his position for another year. A subscription for his use was~ immediately begun, and over $2,000 was raised ina few moments. Addresses were delivered in relation to the negro + children of the South by Bsther Wicks, Edward. Zarle, of Massachusetts, eus Powell, Henry Dickenson and Mary H. Thomas, and the session. was then adjourne Aficrnoon Session. In the afternoon the joint session was continued, and the report of the standing Committee on In- Ce Attairs was read. A summary of it is given elOW :— SOCIAL AND MORAL CONDITION OF THE INDIANS. Tho condition of the several agencies, with the excep- tion of two or three of them, was for the most part, sati factory, considering the short time the Indians had been under our care and’ the ignorance, superstion and preju- dice under which they had grown up. In each agency the Indians were to some extent engaged in agricultural pursuits, except the tribes in the Riowa, Comanche and Apache agency, and their interest in cultivating the soil and other industries is in~ creasing. In some of the agencies something had been done in instructing them in domestic duties.
