The proceedings of Saturday in the Court of Oyer and Terminer were unus ually interesting and impressive. Three beings, whom have to regard,'how ever perverted, as fellow creatures, were then sentenced to suffer the last penalty of the law, to expiute, so far as possible, with their OJVn wretched lives, the lives of the xinsuspecting victims they had sacrificed. The trials of them all are of recent dute, and the public.are too familiarly acquainted, with the iior rible. details, of which .'ut the tli&fe gave the fullest account, to render auy tresh recital of them necessary now.? No more deliberate and fiendish mur der* ever stained the jgpaprdM of crime, And jio criminals over were tried aud found worthy of death with whom pub lic feeling |iad less of sympathy or pit v. Even the sex of -MrSr Griader'does -not secure for her the faintest manifestation of mawkish sentiment, as-te usually the case when a woman, be she "never so wicked, is coudeinned to die. The proceedings were conducted be fore a full bench, Hon. J. M. Kirkpat rick, District Attornej*. appearing for the people. At about 11 o'clock, umid a sudden silence which /ell upon the gossiping'throagof spectators, the door leading from the prison to the court room wiis throwu open, and?under escort of Sheriff Stewart and Juilor White?Benjamin Bernhardt Marschall and August Frecke, the assassins oi Boyd's Hill, were "brought forth and quietly placed in the dock. Judge Sterritt, by >/whom sentence was to be .pronounced, was fiir more affected than the wretched men he was about Id formally doom to infamous and early graves. He changed color as.the ttme came for him to perform his painful duty, and, for u moment, his utterance was almost choked. Recov ering himself, he addressed the prison ers in it low bat audible voice, telling them that the motion,ip arrest of judg ment and lor a new 'trial, /which hud been made by their counsel, had, after a careful consideration by himself and his brolhor Judges,'.been.:overruled. He gave a brief review of the reasons which had governed them in their de cision, answering the arguments of the prisoners' counsel in consecutive order. Hon. J. M. Kirkpatrick read that part of the record of the- trial' which con tained the conviction of the prisoners, Benjamin Bernhardt Marschall and Au gust Frecke, respectively, convicted of murder in the first degree, and moved for judgment on the verdict of the jury. TUE SENTENCE OF MARSCILALI.. The prisoner, Marschall, was then directed to stand up. and Judge Sterritt, nddressing him saia: "Benjamin Bern hardt Marschall, have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you?." Marschall replied, "Nothing but what I have said before." The Judgu then recited the circum stances of the' murder, the fearful re morse following its commission, which rendered Marschall's life a burden to him, and impelled him to finally deliver himself up to the offended law. "An overwhelming conscience," says the Judge, "demanded and obtained relief in a full confession of guilt, and you stand here to-day virtually self-condem ned." Sentence was then pronounced in the usual manner. For the first time, as he sat down, Marschall seemed affected. He bowed his head, buried his face in his handker chief, and sobbed loudly. THE SENTENCE OF FRECKE. Atifcust Frecke Was then directed to stand up. and the judge asked him if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him. Frecke, who is nnable to speak Eng lish, said, through his counsel, J. J. Seibenick, Esq.; 4jI have nothing furth er. T am innocent. Marschall accused me because I said he stole the stranger's pipe in the railroad car, and because I said I fcaw blood on his Jshirt. He said to me, 'You shull hang as well as me.*" Judge Sterrlta, in pronouncing sen tence, adverted to the fact of able Ger man counselling assigned to the pris oner, dwell on the enormity of his crime, and codhsetled him to "hope for no further mercy in this world. Both prisoners were thereupon re manded to the custody of the sheriff, to await the day of their execution. THE CASE OF MBS. OKINDER. Within a few minutes alter the prison ers Marschall and Frecke had been re moved^ Martha Grinder, the female prisoner, was1 brought into the court. She seemed to walk with difficulty,*'and was sustained by Sheriff Stewart and one of the tip-staves. She had on. a dark dress, a shawl of light and varie gated colors, wrapped closely around her, and a faded bonnet of some light material, thickly covered by a thick veil, which fell forward over and almost concealed her face. She dropped into the seat in th$ ;dock .BQbbiug hysteri cally. In response to the accustomed ques tion, whether she had anything to offer why sentence should not be pronounced. Mm.''Grinder exclaimed in a low voice, and starting up wit&Unlooked for en ergy: "All have to say is^ lam not guilty of tho crihie with which I am your own afcw.

We kindly entreat yon, therefore, to hum ble youraelf before God, and earnestly implore Ilia mercyr and forgiveness through the merits of a crucified Savior. In thfs'ivay, tutdlnthls alone, can you |k> prepared for the awful cliango that shortlv awaits you in the execution of the sentence which it ia now our pain Ail duty, as miuisU?r* of tha law, to pro nounw'ogtliiTsfyou. -tJ _/resentence of the law is, that vou.

The dead suehSe irf Which tho Judge had been listened to was broken by an effort on the'part of the: prisoner1 to make- some rambling and incoherent remarks, tlie meaning of wl^ich It was impossible to catch' or-understand. At u signal from the court she was remov ed. This should lie, bo fax as the public is concerned, (always excepting one scene in which a gallows bears a prominent part,) (he eud of Martha Grinder. Mr. Sumner's "Clemency and Common HetMte-" The practical part of the moral of Senator Sumner's article under this title in tho December Atlantic is aH fol lows: "It is easy for the individual to for glve. It is easy also for the republic to o generous. But forgiveness df'offen ses must not be a letter or license to crime; it must not be tho recognition of an ancient tyranny, and it must not be a stupendous ingratitude. There is a fa miliar saying, with the salt ot ages, which is addressed to us now; '"Be just I before you are generous.'. Jtoju'st to all before you are generons to the (few. He j just to tile millions only half resened troin oppression, before you are gener ous to..tbeircruel task-masters.

Oitr fore most duties now are to pay our debts, und :these' are two-foldtlrst, to tho national freedman; and, secondly, to the national- creditor. "APPly these obvious principles practically. Achild cando it. No duty of clemency cau justify injustice.? Therefore, in exercising tho beautiful power of pardon at this moment In our country, severnl conditions must be observed. As a general rule, belligerent traitors,-who have-battled against tho country, must not be permitted at once, without probation or trial, to resume their old places of trust and power. Such a concession Would be plearly against eveiy suggestion of common sense, and President. Johnson olearly suw it so, when, addressing his fellow-citi zens of Tennessoe, June 10, lfUM, ho said: 'I say that traitors shonhl tako a back seat in the work of restoration. If there l>o but five thousund meu in Tennessee, loyal to the constitution, loyal to freedom; loyal to justioe, these true and faithful men should control the work of reorganization and .refor mation absolutely.' "2. Especially ure we bound, by every obligation of justice, and by every seu tlment of honor, to see to it that bellig gennt traitors whobaSe battled against their country are not allowed to rulo the oonstant loyalists, whether white or black, embracing the recent freed rnen -who have been our friends and allies. "3. Let belligerent traitors be received slowly and cautiously baok into the sovereignty of citizenship. It is better thnt they should wait than the general security be imperiled, or our solemn obligations, whether to tho liitional ireedman or the national creditor, bo impaired. -Lot pardons Issue only on Satis factory assurance that the applicant, who baa been engaged for yearsln mur dering T>rtf fellow-citizens-, shall sus tain the equal rights, civil and politi cal, .of .all men, according to the princi pies of the Declaration of Independence; that he shall pledge himself to the sup port of the national debt, and, if ho be '""OHS tho largo holders of land, that he shall set apart homesteads for ill Tils froedmen. "The true tray is easy. Follow oom mon sense. Seeking to avoid one peril, do not rush upon another. Consider how everything of worth or honor Is bound up with the national security and tho national faith; and.

But if adequuW guar anties cannot be obtained at once, then at least postpone all. present, surrender to the oligarchy, trusting meanwhile to Providence for protection, and to tittle for that awakened sense of justice and humanity.which must in the end pre vail. And, finally, take care not to rush from Ghurybdis to Scylla." Wanted?A Hew atetbod of Dolo? Honor to Dtatl^pilibcd Men. The Boston ^Advertiser thinks that anybody who will invent for use in this country a new method of doing honor to great men, will perform an act of humanity toward a deserving1 and suf j fering class, and will do something to save the people of the United States from making themselves ridiculous be fore the world. At present the metfcods in use appear to be three. The first of these IsTp set theinan whom we delight to honor-to sdshfe public plabo.where all oomers may, shake his .hand. Nqw, handshaking, beyond the half dozen men whom the/ recipient of honors is glad to see, is an utterly insane process; beyond the first five xriln ut^it beoomeaatlaborious process, and after the first fifteen minutes it ia tor thfr stoutest hearts quail. Moreover, any tnan la supposed to have a reasona ble choice as to the sort bf people .With whom he shall be brought in contact. Pew. of us think that even the Roman Was any too fastidious, who, when before meeting his Jcllow-cixizens as a candidate, said, "bid item wash their faces and Jteep their t?6th clean." it is literally thn. yyronf. imxcnBhed" whom we thrust u^an^any. .great mail when we set hi in up in Faneull Hall'or in the City Hull or New York, to trv I his endurance by the pump-handle pro cess. The second method is to have a sere- j nade by appointment, with a bniss band and an enthusiastic street mob,' and vociferous cries of "speech, speech," and unlimited champagne afterwards. Now a serenade ju the stilly night by 1 Romeo with his flute, listened to by Juliet at her window, with nq bystand ers or dogs upon the lawn, is one thing; but this entertainment under gas light, with all the crowd and confusion and tumult of a'city fire, is quite another thing, and not to be recognized from its name. To -the object of the demonstra tion this speech-making on (he balcony with the certainly of being reported in the morning jpapers, is severe penance; while-the scene In the supper-room af terwaras Is apt to be simply disgusting. And finally, wU'dn wo would do the thing with especial elaboration, the ap proved method is to have what is called with no appropriateness a "reception," such as was extended to General Grant in,New York the othfer'Wight. Police men with their clube are usual!v the masters of ceremonies on such occasions; detectives in plain clothes observe the. movements or the spoons and forks; those who getoufc of: the crush with their clothes whole upon their bucks esteem themselves happy, and tl^Q.wbo can pot get in are found to be happiest of all; the distinguished guest undergoes' the extremity of compression and hus^ tllng In addition to the handshaking process every element of social enjoy ment is squeezed out of the affair; and the net result of it is that local dignita ries seo themselves announced 111 tho newspapers as the committee and man agers and guests of an entertainment, about which everybody talks for a day and at whichthe better part of the com munity laugh with contempt. Absolutely it is to theso methods thut the people .of; t^ls nation are reduced, when they w.ould testify in a public manner their regard for a man whose 1 name excites in every breast senti ments of admiration, respect and grati tude. So durnsy are their efforts to articulate tfcelrfeellngS, that It Is ofily by subjectingiiiui. lo th? maximum of personal annoyance lii the given time, that General Grant or anyrhero can be duly assured that bis countrymen hon or his character and recognize his deeds. Is not American ingenuity adequate to the task of contriving some other sort of- public) doulonatration, i which aim 11 save us from the discredit and ridicule which so properly attends tho essential and ?te?otyped vulgarity of the meth ods now in. vogue ut A PKRldenl's Lire. Tlie proud position of President of tho United Stated of America has enough of care; anxiety .and trouble connected with it to fully counterbalance its glory. The Washington Star thus describes a singlo day pt tho White House Were it not for the relief from daily annoyances, afforded by the. Cabinet meeting on Tuesdays and'Fridays, no: physical constitution, however strong could endure the exhausting labor per formed by tho President of the United States. There is no office of the govern ment-bo burdened with responsibilitv and anxiety; and no man living required to listpn to'such an endless recital of private-grief, as unsophisticated visitors pour into the President's, ear ut every PUbW,,interview: President Johnson has few equals in industry. He rises at six, and until breakfast* which is served at half-past seven, looks over the -newspapers. Immediately after breakfast he goes to the Executlvo r rtmente and commences the labor of day. First there are bundles of let ters to be read and the replies dictated to the secretaries. Applications for ap pointments, promotions,discharges from innumerable other subjects are disposed of, but. before half completed the visitors havo commenced to flock into tho ante rooms and thrust their cards upon him Pardon seekers swqrin on every hand Former owners of confiscated property pace up and down before tho door of the President's room, and females with indescribable effrontry insist upon im mediate admittance. "After the'most Important business ^SSSBSSSESS&SBS o1l^do?0ef I and the President submits himself to the artesian process. This lasts till about half past one or two, sometimes o'clock; w;hen the doors of his apartment, are opened, and the whole crowd admitted..

"In addition to all these duties it must be reipembered that there are dis tinguished, visitors constantly present ing themselves. Representatives of foreign^ courts, Governors, Senators, Generals; and hundreds of lesser mag nitude must be received, each having some Important subject requiring cate and deliberation, yrhile over all-towers the great and ever present problem of reconstruction.

now to Breathe. There is oue rule to be observed in taking exercise by walking?the very best form in which it can 1k> taken by i'tho'young and able-bodied of all ages? and that is, never to ullow tlie action of respiration to be carried on through the mouth. The nasal passages are clearly tho medium through which respiration was, by our Creator, designed to be .par ried on. "God breathed into man's nostrils tho breath of life" previous to his becoming u. living creature. The difference in the exhaustion of strength by a long walk with tho mouth lirmly closed, aud respiration carried on through the nostrils instead of through the mouth, is inconceivable to those who have never tried the experiment. Indeed, this mischevious aud really unnatural habit of carrying on the work of inspiration and expiration through the mouth, instead of through the nasal passages, is tho true origin of almost all ?the diseases of the thrOat and lungs, oh bronchitis, congestion, asthma, and even consumption itself. That exces sive perspiration to which some indivi duals are so liable,jn their sleep, which is so weakening tA the body, is solely the effect of such persons sleeping with tbeir.mouths unclosed. And the same unpleasant and exhaustive results arise to the animal system from walking with the mouth open, instead of, when not engaged in conversation, preserving the lips in a state of firm, but quiet compression. As tho heat and velocity of the blood through the lungs depend almost entirely upon the quantity of the atmospheric air inhaled with each inspiration, and it is unavoidable that it should be taken in, in volume, by tho mouthy -while it can only be supplied in moderate quantities, aud just in suffi cient proportion to serve the purpose of a healthy respiratory action, while sup plied through the nostrils, it is clear that the body must be much lighter and cooler, and the breathing much freer and easier, when the latter course rather than the former is the one adopted. Children ought never to bo allowed to stand or walk with their mouths open: for, besides the vacant appearance^t giveS to the countenance, It is the certain precursor of coughs, colds, and sore throats.?Methodist. The President** Popularity at Home. President Johnson is too lenient to rebels to suit the loyalists of East Ten nessee. "Agate,'.' of the Cincinnati Gazette, who. is exploring the South, writes from Knoxville:? "A prophet is generally without honor in his own country, and it is not suprising that there should be other places in the United States where they have more confidence in President Johnson than at Knoxville. The people of Greenville, (Johnson's old home), where we stopped for half an hour, are proud the COU-?tfi nu?A?uiu tuuy arc rather inclined to reserve their praises. "Vyhat in.h?11 is he plavoring with the democrats for?" asked one. Others can hardly bo brought to ex press an opinion j about him; and I have found very lew, except the ,office holders, who were t warmly and without reservation his friends, "He is pardoning cursed scoundrels all the time, such as. we've been shooting, out. hero, on sight."? "Why don't he hang Jeff Davis, as ho said in the Senate he would?" "Well, he's got-to play his hand out pretty soon,and weTloee whether he'a going to desert us." Such are some of tjie voices I hear among East Tennesseeans. They don't give Mr. Johnson up; but the man who pleases East Tennessee must be much more ferocious against rebels than the president has yet shown himself. "Their radicalism op the. question of punishirfg rebels does not gtrto the ex tent of defending the negroes. There is, I should judge, absolutely no public sentiment here in favor of negro suf 1 frage, aud scarcely any in favor of ne ?ro education.

Tbev found the old map in J a very low condition. The clergyman asked him if he thought the medicines which had been given him were benefi cial. "Yes.?' The clergyman then hin ted that .there was another medicine "which waS of infinitely greater impor tance. "Whatisit?" saidPalmerston. "The tfloodof Christ," replied the clergy man, who, with this for an opening went on into a religious exhortation. When ho came to. a pause, Palmers ton-said, only, *-Go on." The clergyman, pleased at this,- went on with .farther-religious remarks, awl ooming to another pause, Palmerston said again, "Go on." Much encouraged by this, the clennrraan con tinued fervently, and Lord Shaftsbury, who is very pious, joined, in with him. At length. Palmerston said, "That is well; now read the sixth article, >?o one present knew what this meant; and the clergyman referred to the sixth article In the prayer-book, which howe ver, shed no light on the mysterious re quest., On testing the dying man'amind further ?t"became abundantly evident that he had supposed that he was listen ing to the treaty of Utrecht, tho oi jith article whereof related iqfjjapaurrender of Dunquerqne. rr~- iiuui, ure of. having given a president to the country; but in Knoxville they are Duckino Women.?The Legislature of Virginia, in the good old days, two ceuturies and a half ago, enacted the following law for the punishment of women: "At a grand assembly held in James Cittie, In the year were passed many acts to the glorie of Almi^htie God, and the publique good of this hU Majestfe's coloiiio of Virginia," Among them was the following, entitled Wo men causing scandalous suits, to be duck ed; "Whereas, oiteptimea many babbl ing women often scandalize their neigh bors, for which their poore husbauds are often brought into chargeable and vexatious suits and cost in great dam age: "Be it tha-cforc evaded by the authority aforesaid, That In actions of slander occasioned by the wife, as aforesaid, after judgment passed for tho damages, the women shall be punished by duck ing; and if the slander be so erroneous as to be adjudged at a greater damage than five hundred pounds of tobacco, j then tho woman to suffer a ducking for each five hundred pounds of tobacco so adjudged against ner husband, if lie i refuses to pay the the tobacco." 5?oop ?tirts.

Stof?Mltgtmtr. CAMPBELL M'DERMOT, KDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. ItJgHPAY Bt-lH'l Attorney* in W?rt VlrglnU Court*? Decision of Judge PoUIey. It will be recollected that u lew days since we copied from the Kanawha Journal u brief mention of a decision jiiude by Judge Polsley, of the Kana wha Circuit, overruling a motion of William A. Quarrler, a returned rebel lawyer, to be re-admitted to practice at the bar of that court. We have since been favored with a copy of the Judge's opinion in full. It appears that Mr. Quarrier, who had boon for many years a practising lawyer in Kanawha, abandoned his home and profession in the Spring of 1801, and went South, obtained a commission in the rebel army and held it until the surrender in the Spring of 1865. He then returned to Charleston, and seeking to reinstate himself in his former position at the bar, took the amnesty oath, and made the motion to >5e allowed to practice. In the discussion of the case the law seems to have been thoroughly examin ed and tho questions Involved argued elaborately by able counsel; and after mature consideration the Judge decided t ?ut by participating in the rebellion the applicant had forfeited his office of attorney and his right to practise the law In the Courts of this State. From this opinion, which we have read with great pleasure, it is evident i hat Judge Poleley has hot only thoroughly investigated and maturely considered the subject before him; but. in the ability displayed in the ennucia tion of his opinion and decision, and the lofty patriotism that pervades it, he has done himself great credit, and re Hected honor on the Judiciary of oui State. While we do not protend to review this Opinion with the technical precis ion of u lawyer, nor to express an opin Ion on some of tho matters adduced by way of argument or illustration, yet il seems to us that it must fee apparent tc every intelligent mind that the conclu sion reached Is a Just ono, and vindi cates the great principles that underlie our system, as it Is a correct decision of the important questions of law in volved. X? one can doubt that it is in perfect accord with the patriotic feeling of the loyal people of the State. How could it be otherwise? Shall men of this de gree of intelligence, who voluntarily left their homes, abandoned their busi ness and engaged in- a causeless and wicked attempt to overthrow our laws, destroy our courts and break up tho very foundations of society, now that their efforts for evil have proved una vailing, and their schemes for a divided and ruined country are thwarted, and who returning to the bosom of the communities they sought to ruin, do maud, with unblushing effrontery', im mediate restoration to tho responsible otlicial and highly honorable positions which they abandoned in the interests of treason and anarchy, ho at once re invented with trusts then betrayed and honors then contemptuously cast aside, us if they had not committed tho high est offence known to the law, but had ull the while demeaned themselves as law-abiding and respectable citizens? It is represented to us that since this decision by Judge Polsley, tho rebels and their sympathisers aro'boosting that one of the Judges of tho Court of Appeals has already expressed an ad verse opinion but wo cannot believe without further evidence that any of the Judges or that high tribunal have *0 far forgotten tho responsibility of tho elevated station to which the confi dence of their loyal fellow citizens has I raised them, as to volunteer so hasty an j opinion on a Question involving so much interest at this time, especially when they must know that opinion is j adverse to the recently expressed Judg ment, as well as tho interests, of a large majority of tho loyal peoplo of the State. Still less aro wo prepared to be-1 llevo that they could so far lose sight of. tho proprieties and dignities of the Su- j promo lie itch of the State, a? to retail their volunteered opinions about the i streets, as If they wore but tho cheap wares of the corner loafers instead off matters or profound moment to that Society of whose peace, prosperity and safety they are iu so great a measure the conservators and guardians. We suppose If Mr. tjuarrler and hi8 i friends have any confidence in the sue- j cess of his case before the Court of Ap- peals, it will Ih? taken there; when that tribunal will afford him a patient hear- 1 lug and give an exposition of tho law that will bo binding on all, In the abseuce of further legislation on the subject. Whether the Legislature may not, in order to avoid misconstruction and dispute, pass a law on the subject at the approaching session remains to be seen. A Postscript. In our figuring Monday morning the general summing up of revenues in cluded only tluwo prtnluwl by taxation on property. It may be worth while to mention that to these totals should be added the reveuues arising from llcen- .ses?now probably about $$0,000 or j $100,000 annually. Under our system the revenue from i licenses are much lews than under the 1 old?for then every merchant paid a heavy license to the State. The taxes on deeds, wills, seals und suits, which formerly went into the State treasury now go to tho counties. Militia fines and fines imposed by Courts, used to go into the State treasury proper. Now they ore diverted to a fund used ex clusively for free school purposes. Now there is no tiu ott slaves nor ou in comes. Neither wat( tho capitation j tax?al?out ?50,000?i til tided In our esti- mates of gross revenues. This will help explain the apparent j discrepancy bet weeu our showing of the j sum our present rato of taxation under i the present valuation should yield when taxes are collected from all the coun ties, and tbut paid by the couutles now composing this State into the treasury 1 of Virginia before tho war. The Commissioner of lut^rnnl lleve- nue has just reudered a decision which involves a much larger sum of money than any decision heretofore made. The j case is that or a deed or trust or mort- j gage or the Great Western Railway: Compauy to John R. Penn, trusUje, a j oopy of which was forwarded to tho Commissioner, with the iuquiry if $1,000 was the requisite amount of stamps for the iustruoteut o( writing. The decision or the Commissioner is that tho deed or mortgage requires $30, OuO worth of stamps, (Instead of $1,000) and that it will be invalid unless so stamped. I Legal Point* In the Mbenandoab Case. The unconditional release of Captain Waddell and the crew of the Shenan doah will unquestionably form Another complication in onr British relations, which the inconsiderate accepting of the pirate ship b3* the American Consul at Liverpool will not at all help. 'What ever the end which diplomacy will reach may be, tho case constitutes another of the important precedents which British interpretation of international law is establishing?precedents which are destined, in the long run, to afford us quite as much satisfaction as anything Ktigland could render now in the shape of paying for damages. Of the legal points involved in the discharge of the officers and crew of the Shenandoah, a correspondent of the London Daily Neus writes as follows: "The question is, whether Captain Waddell speaks the truth when he says that he had no earlier intelligence of the close of the war than the beginning of August. Is the thing crediblo in itself? The American papers have printed depositions of masters of ves sels boarded by Captain Waddle, to the effect that they brought the surrender of General Dee and the close of the war to his knowledge, and that he replied he did not care, and went on his career of deal ruction notwithstanding. Is it pos sible that the American Minister has failed to bring to the notice of the Brit ish Government the depositions made by*the masters of whaling vessels which were destroyed by the Shenandoah, after the war had closed? Is it possible that any reasonable man could have doubted tho evidence of that fact brought before him in so many shapes? Is it to bo endured that Captain Wad dell, notwithstanding the weight of ev idence before him, should be permitted to destroy ships without taking the trouble to clear up his doubts by mak ing the necessary inquiries? The man who continues to exercise the rights of his commission, after bis commission has become wastepaper, ought to suffer the penalty of his neglect. I suppose no man living believes that Captain Waddle might not have satisfied him self as to the fact that the war was over weeks before he did satisfy himself; and if he chose to shut his eyes, I de sire to know whether he lias incurred any penalty, and why it should not be enforced against him? "But perhaps the law officers have dis covered some technical difficulty. No doubt, if Captain Waddell has commit ted uny crime, it is that of piracy. As soon as the civil war was over, every act of burning or destroying whalers done by him on the high seas was an act of piracy, and it is well known that t the i>erson who commits any such act j of piracy may be tried in any country where ho happens to be. If, therefore the law officers of the Crown considered that Capl. Waddell had been guilty of piracy, they might huve indicted and tried him in this country. Is it, then, 1 bscause these learned persons deny that Capt. Waddell has been guilty of this crime that they have refused to put him oil his trial But, besido Capt. Wad dell, there were tho men of his crew.? What of them Were they all Ameri can subjects?were there no Kuglish citizens among them? Have the offi cers of the government assured them selves on this point If there were any Englishmen, they, like the Captain, might be pirates; but even if not'pirates, they had exposed themselves to the penalties of the Foreign Enlistment Act, and might l>e indicted under that statute." i'OKUj-?Foffey?Fogy. The Fairmont National, as we noted in a paragraph on tho capital question a day or two since, lias been calling Clarksburg an "old foggy" town. The epithet having run through tlio sieves of the Buckhannon Republican and Clarksburg Telegraph, and been re peated by the National withontcatching tho extra "tc," wo began to have grave doubts whether to understand that Clarksburg was an old town of fogs or a town of old fogies, nnd we hinted the I difficulty in the paragraph referred to to. This week the National gracefullj' apologizes for its proof reader, and tho I Telegraph says, he knew tho National i was wrong, supposed it was a mere error of type, but understood of course that the National meant- "old fogey'\J) Nojwr brother editors \yo tell you what it is, we spell the word in this latitude, f-o-g-y, fogy; ami that's according to Webster or some other high authority; and it's our candid belief that no town where they spell fogy with an "e" or two "g's" can ever be tho capital of tho Suite. The Southern representatives elected to Congress ure reported (by a Wash ington special correspondent) to have agreed to present their credentials on the first day of the session, and if they are not at onco admitted, to leave Washington lor Richmond, there to re main in a body until solicited to return and take their seats. This is a very excellent project; they can live much cheaper at Richmond than at Wash ington, especially if they remain in a body, hire a negro cook, and subsist on hog and hominy. As it will probably take Congress some six or eight weeks to decide upon their claims to seats, they may thus save a handsome little Muni, which will bo convenient to pay the passage home of such as cannot take the test oath and therefore have 110 chance to got into Congress. Be sides, they will be out of the way of the excitements anil temptations of the Capital, and may chew the cud of their discontent without giving or receiving molestation. We fear, however, that the whole story is apocbryphal. Thk man who welcomed Qen. Grant to the Cnion league at New York, Wed nesday night, Mr. Beekman, vice-presi dout of the league, took occasion to denounco the French occupation of Mexico as one of the foulest wrongs that had ever been committed. Ho expressed strong sympathy with tlio Mexican re public, and said, "A Mexican Grant will yet restore his country, as you have i your own." The General's reply was significant:?"I hope you will excuse me from thanking you at any great length. But there is one sentiment ut tered in your address, which is mine also. It is the one touching tho future of Mexico." It is at least indicative of Gen. Grant's strong interest in Mexl ?an atlairs, that ho departed from his usual custom of bowing his acknowledg ments for compliments received and made so long a speech. Ho is also said ;o have remarked In private conversa tion that he is to bo "counted in" in the deliverance of Mexico. It is stated that Sen. Logan, who is himself a warm Friend or tbo republican Mexican gov ernment, was appoiuted minister to Mexico at Gen. Grant's suggestion. Cheap Living.?TheCollumbus (Ga.) Enquirer says: We extract tho follow ing from h letter dated Marion Court house, Florida, published in tho Savan nah Republican: "And now for the prices current in this section.

Thk Bound Table takes Gen. Grant severely to task for consorting familarly with jockeys and sporting men, during his. recent visit to New York. The Table says the General rode out with George,Wilkes 4*to a popular race track to see a lot of horse jockeys show off a pack of race horses." Who George Wilkes is the readers of the Table are thus advised: "George Wilkes is a notorious Sport ing man,' and editor of a so-called 'sporting' paper published in this city. This is the person who, a few years since, went to England as the champion of ulow fellow by the name of Heenan, and backed him iu his fight with an equally low fellow named Tom Sayers. The last mentioned person has never been in this country tnat we are aware of; and as for Heenan and Wilkes, we are sure that neither of them ever gain ed admittance into the society of gen tlemen, still less of ladies. Concerning Wilkes, we have never heard a word against bis personal character. All we know or care to know about him is, that he is not a person of whose acquaint ance a true gentleman would venture to boast. We hear of him as figuring at prize-fights, billiard matches, and horse races, rather than in the society of the intelligent and refined. Yet, this is the man with whom Lieutenant-Genera Grant went out to ride. To gether they viewed a display of what a daily paper terms 'the crack horse flesh of the vicinity.' The prominent sporting men ol the city, we learn from the same paper, were present, as might be expected." The TbMeadds, and not unjustly: Reading of this, we instinctively re cur to Washington, and wonder if he would have lowered himselfso far as to consort with the leading "sporting men" of his day, and view "the crack horse-flesh of the vicinty." We think of Lieutenant-General Grant's honored predecessor in office, and ask if the ven erable Winfield Scott would accompany such a man as George Wilkes to a pop ular race-track to see a lot of horse jockeys show off a pack of race-horses. We recall the name of Abraham Lin coln, aud resent as a personal affront the thought that, with all his peculiari ties, he would have allowed himself to be chaperoned about New York by a leading "sporting man." We are not unmindful of the fact that a public man is, by virtue of his office, oft times com pelled to meet those whom he would spurn in private. We make all due al lowance for the persistency with which persons of low associations will foist themselves upon their betters; but we are unable to excuse the Lieutenant General of the United States for meet ing on terms of familiarity, men who have yet to cross the threshold of decent society. Those who seek his society are not to blame. Dogs will follow men, aud show signs of delight at the recog nition of their presenco. The responsi bility attaches to the men, not to the curs. So is it as regards tho human species. A man is known by tho com pany he keeps, and he who consorts with characters whom good society es chews must expect to be judged accord ingly. Position or Ntnart, of Virginia. It has been stated that A. H. H. Stuart, one of the members of Congress elect from Virginia, cannot take the congressional test oath. He opposed secession in tho Virginia convention, aud gave no voluntary support to the rebellion, and probably has as clear a record as any who will take the oath, but he will decline it because ho thinks it unconstitutional and oppressive. In a recent letter to a friend in Buffalo, N. Y., ho defines his position as follows: "Mr. Johnson's policy will give us a firm grouud to stand upou in the out set, aud the restoration of the authority of the constitution, in its original sim plicity, will furnish a permanent basis of union in the future. I can hardly think the republicans will venture to adhere to the test oath, in the face of its flagrant unconstitutionality. If they I do, they will place a weapon in the hands of their adversaries which can be used greatly to their disadvantage. I mean, to present myself and demand my seat, as ouo legally elected and re turned, and possessing all the constitu tional requirements of eligibility. If admitted, I will give a cordial support to Mr. Johnson's policy of reconstruc tion, and use every effort to restore tranquility and good feeling to the jUnion. If excluded, I will return home and calmly await the develop- ment of events. I certainly will not make way for a more pliant represen- tative. So far as Virginia is concerned, 1 every vestige of opposition to tho fede ral authority hns vanished. Tho peo- pie were never, at heart, in favor of se cession, and they acoept cheerfully tho rt*sults of the war. In regard to the principal leaders of tho attempted rev olution, the only fear is that they will now run into the opposite extreme of ubject subserviency. Haviug never lost my balance, by going for secession, I do uot wish to lose it now, by going Tor consolidation.

BY TELEGRAPH. By the Union Line: Office, comer of Monroe and Water streets. From Washington. The Cholera in New York. More About Collector King. Late Mexican News. Special WaNblngton Dlwpatcbe*. New York, Nov. 27.?The Times' Washington special says: A prominent member of the Senate Finance Committee has announced his intention to urge upon Congress the re duction of Government taxes fUll one hundred millions. He alleges that the revenue after this reduction shall have been made, will be sufficient to pay the expenses of the Government, besides leaving a large sum to be applied to the public debt. Brevet Brig. Gen. Duncan will assume command ot all the colored troops in the vicinity of Washington. In making up the statistics of the Treasury Department the fact is de clared that, in the fiscal years ending June respectively in 1862, 1863 and 1864, notwithstanding that we had over one million men in the field, and thus withdrawn from labor, we exported to forefgh countries two and three quarter times more wheat and eight times more ham and bacon than in 1838, 1859 and I860. Nearly all the privates of the veteran reserve corps have voted under the late order of the War Department to leave the service, and have been mustered out. in one regiment but four men remain. A large number of the officers, however, remain in the service. Most of them are utterly incapaciated from the pursuit of their former busi ness avocations, as found from official reports now coming to the War Depart ment and other sources. These, of course, desire to remain in the service, and in order to make place for them in the regular army, if it shall be deter mined to merge the Veteran Reserves into that organization, an enrolling act is proposed to be submitted ?.o Congress, to be enacted into a law, which will provide for theadmissioujof the Veteran Reserve, the officers retaining their present grade or rank as near as may be, upon certificate from a board of examiners, of competency and fitness for their positions. It is understood the Secretary of War favors the plan. Captain S. li. Phelps, of Ohio, for twonty-five years past of the U. S. Navy, was, on Saturday, appointed by the Post Master General, a special agent for the government to accompany the Pa cific Mall steamers, under the contract a few weeks ago entered into, and look to the interests of the United States, in the execution of the agreement between the Mail Company ana the government. Captain Phelps will leave Boston on the 6th of December, for England, thence to China and return by the Pa cific route. The Tribune's Washington special despatch says: When the war cloeed in April last the government owned and used for mili tary purposes, 330 locomotives, 4000cars and 70,000 tons of iron. All thejocomo tives have now been sold but 32, and there are about 1,000 cars yet on hand. Some have been sold for cash at auction and some'on six months and two years time, to Southern Rail Roads.? All will be sold before January 1st. .The Commissioner of Interna^ Reve nue hasTeceiveda communication from several proprietors of soda-water foun tains, remonstrating against the tax of six per cent levied, according to law, on all manufactures of such beverages.? They claim that as -they do not charge their fountains with carbonic acid gas, they are not liable to the tax, and ask that the amount already levied be re mitted. The Commissioner has replied in effect that they cannot be exempt from the specified tax of six per cent, and that whether they buy their foun tains already charged,, or have a person to charge them, they are regarded as manufacturers or producers. The World's special, In speaking of the trip of the Stone .vail for the edifica tion of Farragut court martial,says: Her speed was ten miles .an hour, which is by no means her maximum. She seems to be very formidable. Her ram project ed 25 feet from her bow, and lies 8 feet under water. Alter the trial was com pleted the General's impression seemed to be that Commodore Craven exercised a sound discretion in not attackinglier. Had the Niagara's gnns failed to make any impression on the four inch plat ing of the Stonewall, the result would probably have been the sinking of the Niagara bv the latter's ram. ^TheStone wall is to be hauled into-the stream and a gun of the Niagara's calibro is to be fired at her, at a distance approximat ing that between her and the Niagara at the time Commodore Craven declin ed to* attack her.' The Cholera?Wall Street Attaint? From the South. New York, Nov. 27.?It is reported that a crtse of cholera has occurred in Greenwich street, in this city. Wall street is dull and there is but little speculative feeling. The news from Mexico is variously reported, while the near approach of the meeting; of Congress, the conflicting rumors as to Mr. jdcCulloch's policy and the alleged fact that some of the western buyers areunableto meet their thirty-day bills for goods brought here, tends to increase the general uncer tainty. toj The' steamer. Constitution, from Sa vannah on the 23d, has arrived. The Savannah Hentld. states that Gen. I Gillmore has obtained a pardon for the rebel General Elliott, who defended Fort Sumter against him. An order is printed in the Herald cautioning the children of white per sons in Savannah to refrain from ston ing and maltreating the children of freedmen. Freedmen occupying hauls which have been restored to former owners are also notified to removQ.be fore the 20th of December. Mutiny occurred in the 5th regiment i colored troops, at Jacksonville, Fla., in quelling which the Lieut. Colonel was i shot in the hand and several mutineers i wounded. Eight roughs who lately arrived at Savannah amongthe laborers shipped J from New York to'work on railroads, garroted a Mr. Cordes in his own store, in Savannah, and robbed Jho store.

Treasury In this city, and during the ten days $6,679,680 worth of certificates has been issued. In the same period the redemptions onlyreached $1,284,000. The $20 certificates have only been is Bued three days. A colored clergymau, Mr. Sella Mar tin, gave the result of his mission to England to obtain aid for the suffering freedmen of the South, at the Shiloan Presbyterian Church last evening. He had succeeded in collecting about $60,000, but thought that the freedmen must rely chiefly on the contributions of the North for relief. He found much, sympathy among prominent English men, but a general unwillingness to contribute pecuniarily, from a fear lest them, might be considered as imperti nently, interfering in. our domestic con cerns. -TV.

The Posts' Washington special des patch says: The officers of the Treasury Depart ment have seized a counterfeit plate of tho 10-40 bonds of the denomination of $500 dollars, so well executed that the spurious notes would have been diflcult of detection.

From the fact that the theft was discovered shortly after dark, it is thought that it was commit ted In daylight. The rascals must have been very bold, and were decidedly successful. Frequently of late we have recorded robberies of this character in our city and it is time, If it is possible, that some orguni/.ed system should be devised to bre?k lip the work. As we have no night police, it is useless to expect them to correct the evil. Citizens ennnot spare the time to 1mj nlwnvs on i;uanl over their own property, and what is left for us to do? Wo say, orguuize sit once an efficient night police, of snffi eient strength to pro|ierly .patrol the city. By this means we think some of these robliers may I>e secured atul their transactions stopped. We hope to see this matter canvassed soon. We believe we will have no se curity from these robberies until .tw ilight police is put on. Hivkk Nkwk.?The river was slowly rising yesterday, with six feet and three inches of water in the channel.

Concerning M'lle I'arepa's singing we almost hesitate to speak, lest we should be charged with extravagance by those who did not enjoy the marvel lous luxury of that rare feast of en trancing music. Who that was privi leged to hoar that wondrous voice, so infinitely varied in tone, so magnificent in volume, so clirystaline In Its purity and ir. its sweetness, will ever forget the spell to which he yielded rapt and speechless homage. How inadequately tame criticism seems to compass the unbounded glory of this match less Queen of Song. How shall we follow with the tinkling cym bal of mere words the splendor and beauty of the strains in "Ernani Tnvc lami;'" the fountain likejoy and fresh ness and ubamlon of '*11 Bacclo;" the wonderfully charming "trill of the nightingale:" or the delightfully arch and touching expression of the equisite old, old story which was "told at five o'clock in the morning." Wecannotdo it. There are cloud wonders attending the setting sun; there are panoramas which sometimes burst upon the vision; there are emotions which occasionally flood the soul, which mock the barren symbols of speech and bid us worship in silence. So do we recall the voice that made the evening glorious, and dure not profane the memory by any jugglery of Idle complithent. Hear this ^rand Priestess of Song, and decide \vhether this is an Indian Summer's dreain, rising from the dull haze of a printing office. Mr. J. Levy's cornet performance is a prodigy of its kind, and was received last evening with the enthusiasm it de served. No o?ie can imagine the capa bilities of this-instrument without hear ing it under the inspiration of such a master artist. We doubt if Mr. Levy's superior upon tho cornet can be found in the world. The execution of Herr Carl Rosa upon the violin was of excellent merit, and indicated n promise which will some day put him in the front rank of the professors of the instrument. He was frequently etieorcd, as was also Mr. Le vy. There will be another, the last, concert to-night,and Ve advise all lovers of good music to attend by all mean*.
