WASHTTRTOy. D. C., Juiyzird, lyK The present session of Congress is now nearly completed, and amid the pressing du ties of the winding cp. I deem it not improper to pl-nce at subjects of interest to Nebraska' which have been under cosisideration during the second session of the Fortieth Congress. And, perhaps, the subject of greatest interest to our young state, for which congressional action was invoked. Is the important system of the projected railroads. Early in the ses sion, the President of the Union Pacific R. R. visited Washington, and, together with the attorney of the company, has worked faith fully for eight months, for additional aid to this branch, which is already completed one hundred miles west of Atchinson, Kansas, and Is now ready to enter Nebraska, and fol low the Eloe or Republican rivers to the C. P. R. R. Eat such has been the unyielding op position of Congress upon railroad bills at this session, that although the Government has a Bullion and a half of bonds in this road, and all being useless till It is extended. It has not been possible to secure the passage of the fc ill in the Senate. The Bxownviile and Fort Kearney bill was favorably reported by the Committee on Public iAnds, of which com mittee Senator Tipton is a member. And yet the same influence which keeps in obey- ance i lie cenuai raiiicDiii, in wtuouioo y cause the Fort Kearney Bill to eo over till then next session. The House of Representatives, by i decided vote, refused to report a bill till next session, for the Midland Pacific Road. This road is designed to connect Nebraska City with Kearney. Upon the refusal of the House, Mr. Tipton obtained leave to intro duce in the Senate a similar Liil, which in four days thereafter received a favorable re port from the Committee on Public Ijtnds. The Erownville Bill provides for the same aid for a road from Rulo West. Before the Nebraska City BUI was separated from a bill covering a route from the Mississippi river to Fort Kearney, Senator Thayer introduced a bill, including what now constitutes two sep arate bills, and there is no doubt but sucli a link in the chain of roads will be completed at no distant day. Mr. Tipton originally included a section in his bill, for a road from Sioux City, Iowa, to the U. P. R. R, at Columbus, Nebraska, but the President of that road being here, desired a separate bill for his enterprise. Our Senators and Representative are a unit on all questions relating to the political or material interests of our young and vigor ous State of Nebraska, and while Mr. TafiTe has the whole interest of the State to look after in the Hojse, he is always ready to co operate with both Senators in consultation and and action. Ed. Proceeding of the Siate Teachers Association of Ne braska. The Nebraska State Teachers' Association convened at Nebraska City, on July 2Mh, at 71,' o'clock, P. M. President O. E. Hewett, Presiding, and Jarvis S. Church, Assistant Secretary. A very instructive address was delivered ofl Tuesday evening, by Rev. Geo.

That he had paid Professor Goodwin, S); for book, Ji-W; advertising and printing, ti; postage and paper, 150; that Le had cash on hand, 5i The Rev. W. B. Slaughter, Pres. W. M. Brooks, DanL Gantt, L.

Harvy, Henry Roberts, and Prof. Geo. B. Moore, were appointed a Committee to nominate permanent officers for next year. The President, the Hon. 0. B. Hewett, then delivered his annual address, giving a history of the various school laws wh ifh have been adopted and repealed by the Territory of Ne braska, and making some valuable sugges tions as to the present needs and wants of the State. The President's address and its suggestions were referred to the Committee on Resolu tions. At 2 o'clock, P. M the Rev. J. T. Ealrd was introduced to the Convention, anl delivered a well written discourse upon the subject of Liberal Culture. Mr. Goldtbwait, an accredited delegate from the State Teachers' Association of Wisconsin, to this Association, was next introduced, and addressed the Association upon the general characteristics of our Common School Sys tem, a. copy of the addresses thus far de livered were requested for publication and for preservation, as the property of the Associa tion. At 7 o'clock, P. M Dr. Diefendorf, of the Nebraska City College, addressed a large au dience at the Presbyterian Church. At 9 o'clock, A. M., Thursday, the Associa tion was opened by prayer by the Rev. J. M. Taggart. Professor McKenrie, of the State Normal School, made an oral report upon the Schojl statistics of the State, presenting some very Interesting tacts whica elicited much laugn ter. A copy of the report was requested for publication. A very encouraging communication from the Hon. John Gidespie, State Auditor, and Acting State Superintendent of I'ubiic In struction, was received, read, and placed on liie. The following resolutions were adopted : Besolced, That the President of the State Teachers' Association, and the Executive Committee, are requested to draw cp a com prehensive School Law for the State o. Nebraska, and submit the same for its con cileratiou and adoption, at its next session. Resolved, That for the best Interests of the State, the Offices of State, and County Super intendents of Instruction, should be esta blished by law. Resolved, That a syitem of education In ac vrduuee with the suggestion of Judge O. B. Hewett. broad and eatholic, without distinction of party, sex, cr church a school in every neighborhood, a Hig'u School in every town, an Academy or Normal School fo. every County, an 1 one well endowed Univer sity for the State, in all of which tuition shall be free for all, anl to which admission shall be regulated by intellectual advancement alone meets our heartyapproval andendorse ment, and for the consummation of such a system we pledge our undivided sympathy and support. Resoly-ed, That the utility and great necessity of Teachers" Institutes for the Instruction ol teachers in their profession, should be encour aged by government aid. Resolved, That we rejoice In the establish? ment, and in tbe successful operation of the State Normal School, and that we will encour age our young people, who contemplate teach ing, to avail themselves of its advantages. ' And we urge upon the attention of the Legis lature the Importance of the early comple tion of the building, the proper protection of the grounds, and the purchase of a library and complete apparatus for illustrating the natural sciences. In our judgment, an ap propriation of not less than twenty-five thou sand doRars should be made Immediately for these objects. Resolved, That as soon as practicable after BROWNMLLE, NEBRASKA, the election of State offleeTS.theCoiTeponding Secretary of this Association address a circu lar letter to the Governor, Secretary of State, f Auditor, and ea:h member elect of the Legis lature, calling their attention to the action oi this Association, as expressive of the views of the State, and invoking their Intelligent co operation. Resolved, That In & County -where govern ment is in the hands of J1 the people, educa tion 6hould be universal; therefore we deem It not incompatible with the genius of our in stitutions to require that every child shall be Instructed in the rudiments of a common school education, and that this requirement shall be enforced by wise legislation. Resolved, That in the erection of the school houses, the healthy, sound progressive devel opment of both physical and mental culture, demand ample ventilation, well constructed seats and desks, adapted to the size and com fort of the scholars. That sufficient land should be secured for play grounds, trees, and shrubbery, In order to make the place beauti ful and attractive, and we earnestly commend these matters to school boards, as matters of viud Importance to the educational pro gress of the State. Resolved, That the greatest success In the progress of scholars is attained by the proper grading of scholars. We therefore earnestly request the school board in all districts where it is practicable so to do, to establish proper system of grades in their schools without un necessary delay. Resolved. That we reeard a knowledge of the Bible as of vital Importance to our na tional Interests, and in no case can we ever consent to the exclusion of it from any insti tution of learning under the patronage of the State; and we do, therefore, mo6t earnestly urge upon the attention of the Legislature and people, the necessity of legal provision and safeguards upon this subject. Resolved, That the rudimentary principles of American political economy, more espe cially the functions of the various depart ments of our government, the obligation and mutual relation of ruler and people, should form a distinctive branch of instruction in our public schools. Resolved, That while we fully endorse and approve of a classical course of study in our colleges and universities, believing it neces sary to the highest success in certain literary pursuits, nevertheless, we rejoice that In ac cordance with the demands of practical and common life, the best f our colleges are hold ing out to the student achoice between a clas sical and scientific cuniculam, with the as surance that in either course he may enter, true merit will meet with like honor and re ward. Resolved, That the best interests of our scholars require uniformity in text books. Resolved, That humanity dsmands the early estaLdishment, by Legllativ enactment, un der the control of the Statt, of a Reform School, for the training of the young who have been convicted of crime; and we era commend such action as will secure to us a school. Resolved, That we tender our sincere thanks to the good citizens of Nebraska City fortheir hospitality, and also to the officers of this As sociation for their aid in conducting this As sociation. Resolved, That the minutes of this Associa tion, together with the address of the Rev. G. S. Alexander, Hon. 0. B. Hewett, J, T. Eaird, and Professor McKenzie, be placed In the hands of the Printing Committee for publica tion in pamphlet form, and that advertise ments be inserted for the purpose of defraying the expenses. Resolved, That the courtesies heretofore ex tended to ns by the proprietors of the Press of the State, and the interest felt by them in our educational advancement in the State, war rantsus in asking of them an extensson of that courtesy in the future, by publishing of such educational matter as may be desirable to lay before the people. Resolced, That the Executive Committee be instructed to consider, and if possible, act upon the subject of a monthly or quarterly journal, and that we pledge this body to ex tend the circulation of such a pamphlet as far as possible. Resolved, That in arranging the programme for the next annual session of this Associa tion, we request the Executive Committee to provide for essays not to exceed thirty min utes each, upon subjects of Mechanics, Natu ral Fhllosophy, Chemistry, Geology, the Lan guages, Oral and Object Teaching, and such other subjects as may be advantageously Us- tened to by the Association. The following officers were duly elected for the next year: John M. Taggart, President. Prof. Lyman Hutchinson, Cor. Secretary. S. W. Peet, Rec Secretary. " Geo. B. Moore, Treasurer. Hon. O- B. Hewett, O. IL Irish, Rev. w. B. Slaughter, V Executive Com. A. F Harvev, J Prof. J. M. McKenzie, J The teachers and friends of education were invited to attend the OtoeCountyTeachers'In stitute In that city, Aug. 25th, and the Nemaha County Teachers' Institute, in Brown ville, September 5th, Sunstroke. As the heated term continues, we reproduce the following directions of treatment of sunstroke, contributed to the .New York Ledger, by an emi nent physician: "The first of these suggestions is to the effect that in every instance where a person is found fainting in the street on a hot day, the first thing is to remove the person to as cool and shady a place as can be round, and, if possible, to where a draught of air is blowing at the time. It should also be understood there are two morbid conditions resulting from excessive heat. These differ somewhat in their sympujii.anirequireasome what dirierent treatment. The first of these occurs during hot weather after undue exertion on the part of the person aHected. The man is faint, erhaps unable to move, though he can generally be roused, he lias a faint pulse and a cool fckin. Here intie is simply a loss oi nervous power au l relief is promptly afforded oy re moving to a cooi, snaJy place, apply ing coid water or ice water to the nead and administering iced brandy and Wiiter, iced wine and water, or other stimulants. In the other and more lutal lorm of this aiieetion a different set of symptoms show themselves, iire the patient suddenly falls to the ground, completely unconscious, his skin is pungently'hot and dry, his ureathing hurried, convulsion are not uncommon and, if proper treatment be not promptly resorted to, death j soou takes place. In this case, also, j the patient snould be promptly remov ed to a shady and cool sioc, perfectly quiet, so that the crowed may be kept oil' without fail. His clothing should oe stnpted off aud his whole body rubbed from head to foot, pieces of ice being kept under the arm-pits. This should be steadily perservered in until uie patient is restored, or until a doctor arrives, or until it is plain that ine case is beyond recovery. A prominent Massachusetts Demo crat, speaking o the work of the .New xork. Convention, sas: I hoped they would give us a new platt , but its the samt old hash." Perhaps he thinks about it as the Irishman did of the hash set before him at saloon : "Bedad, the feller what chawed thim witties may ate 'em." VTe will fight it out on this line, if it takes &U fceyraour. U THURSDAY, AUGUST Gen. Grant's YFay. Prom the New York Tribune. ine letter of Governor Yates of Illinois, contia licting the assertion mat trie colonelcv of a regiment of a regiment of volunteers which he (1 ates) conferred on the Galena tanner was ever sourht bv the latter, invites attention to a phae of General Grant's which is quite unlike that of some other cfScers of our late war. From the beinning to the end of that struggle, Ulysses S. Grant rose through every grade known to our service. A poor, obscure, friendless private citizen, he volunteered at the outset, and wa3 chosen Captain of a ccaipany. He was 60on made Adjut ant; then Colonel ; then Brigadier General ; then Major-General ; then Lieutenant-General; finally General-in-Chief. Yet nobody ever heard of his asking for a better post. In every case he took the position wherein he was wanted no one ever heard of his wanting a better one than he lready had. 4'Friend. come up higher,ltva3 the mandate addressed to this lowly servant of the Republic not that he wanted promotion, but that the coun try sorely needed the right man in the right place. Again : we had officers perpetually quarreling, grumbling, fretting, in view or their treatment by their sup eriors. They were not promoted so fast as they deserved to be or they were not put in command of divisions or corps that should have been con tided to them. One General assumed to lecture the President on the civil po litical policy that should govern the conduct of the war; on another occa sion, he complained to Washington that part of his men "broke discred itably." General Bragg, when utter ly routed by Grant at Mission Ridge, complained that his men ran and left their, cannon to be captured, when they should have fought and saved them. Several professed a willingness to fight if the war were conducted in accordance with their notions ; if not, they wouldn't. Grant, on the other hand, never complained of ill usage by the government or bad behavior on the pa t of his men always seems to be satisfied with both ; and, if ever dissatisfied, is silent. He favored no "policy" but the crushing out of the retellion. He had no. conception of duty that led him to regard the Fed eral executive with distrust or disfavor. In short, Grant quietly received his orders, and, to the extent of his ability, executed them. It will be the fault of the people if this specie? o' generalship is not more common hereafter. IICRT fTAKD HEECilER. His Vieisrs Upon Political Issues He Denies that lie is for Chase, and De clares for Grant. To the Editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser: I left Brooklyn on Monday, July C, but not before the World had pub lished that I had. on unpay morn ing, ina political sermon, come out for Chase for the Presidency, and against Grant, and I have seen the story every day since racing through papers. There is not a word of truth in it. The sermon was not political, and it made no allusion either to Grant or to Chase. The application of some of its paragraphs, in either direction, was the work of the World, not mine. I have never been a Chase nian. I have for years, as a leader in public affairs deemed him, like his green backs, as promising more on the face than they are worth in gold. While'the New York" Independent was lauding him as a demigod, and the New York Tribune was using his name to obsecure the prospects of Grant, I heartily and openly disagreed with both of them, for I thoroughly liked Grant, and thoroughly distract ed Chase. He is a splendid man to lean upon. Ambition lifts some men toward things noble and good : 'makes them large and generous. Other men's ambition, blurs the sharp lines and distinctions between right and wrong, and leaves them, in the eagerness of selfish desires, to become a prey of bad men. I have for years felt that Mr. Chase's ambition the better elements of his nature. I have liked Grant from the first. Solid, unpretentious, straightforward, apt to succeed and not spoiled by suc cess, wise in discerning men, skilled in using them, with the rare gift (which Washington had in a eminent degree) of wisdom in getting wisdom from other's counsels I confidently anticipate that, great as his military success has been, he will hereafter be known even more favorable for the wisdom of his civil administration. The seven-fold humiliations and recantations through which Cha-e was required to go for a Democratic nomination only to see the smiling Seymour looking benignly down up on his lost estate, has no parallel except in the immortal history of Iieincke Fuch. There will now be no third candi date between Grant and Seymour. It will be a fair fight between rugged honesty and plausible craft. Henky Ward Beecher. Bosion, July 8, 1GS. i m Lord Lyons on Horatio Sey mour. The Enrfith Blue Book contains a letter to the Palmerston Cabinet from Lord Lyons, in which the latter gives some details oi interviews oi nis witn the Democratic leaders at New York, in November, 1S')2. He then speaks as follows of the real purposes of these men, whose chief representative in the nation was Horatio cs ymour: "Several" of the leaders of the Dem ocratic tarty sought interviews with me, both lefore and after the arrival of the intelligence of General McClel lan's dismissal. The subject upper most in their minds, while they were speaking to me, was naturally that of foreign meditation between theNortn and the South. I gave no opinion on the subject. I did not say whether or no I myself thought foreign intervention probable or advisable; but I listened with at tention to the accounts given me of the plans and hopes of the Conserva tive partv. At the bottom I perceiv ed a desire to put an end to the war, even at the risk of losing the South ern States altogether; but it was plain that it was not thought prudeni to avow tnisdsire. indeed some wuw of it, dfoptec before the elections, were so ill-received that a strong dec laration in the contrary sense was deemed necessary by the Democratic leaders." Thp sKnvp it indicates the contin ued opposition of Mr. Seymour to the war in 1S&L corresponds with the views expressed by him to Dr. Russell the correspondent of the London Time whn he virtuallv maintained the right of secession in lsGl, and witn thp snirit of his acts in the attempt to ; thwart the Government in the en-! forcemeat of the draft in leo3, I I a ' ? i. vv, 6 - 1868. The BondnoldiK? Aristocracy, The Democratic Platform, and ora. tors, cratic ac against Government, not onlv insist on paying the debt in paper, "but de mand what they call one currency fit the laborer and the office-holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the pro ducer and the bondholder. This is, of course, intended as a " gag," and is the very poorest kind. It is meant to sug gest that there is a lazy an 1 luxurious class cf the community, a bloated aris tocracy of bondholders, whom the vir tuous and toiling "Democracy" are to bring to grief. It is worth while, therefore, to expose this aristocracy and privileged cLi?s which is fattening upon the life-blood of the nation. Who are these rascally fellows who are to be made suffer? Besides the three or four hundred millions of bonds held abroad mainly in Germany, they are the investments of savings Lank, of fire, marine, and life insurance companies, and of trust estates. As we have before stated, the savin g3 bank3 in New York hold nearly fifty millions of dollars; in Mas sachusetts twenty-five millions, in Rhode Island thirteen millions, and so on in other States. The Life Insu rance Companies in the city of New York invest twenty milhons'of dollars in these funds; the Marine and Fire Insurance Companies alout forty-six millions of dollars. The various Guar antee Companies, in New York hold a hundred million of United States stock. Probably, as a careful estimate in the Evening" Post showed, at least two-thirds of the funds are owned by such Companies. Having thus discovered where the money is, let us now inquire who are the proprietors of it who are the lazy rogues that put money in the savings banks, and snap their fingers at the toiling "masses?" In the State of New York the depositors in the sav ings hanks are nearly five hundred thousand in number, and in Massa chusetts more than three hundred thousand. The Post, of which we have spoken, had before it a list of the occu pations of the principal depositors in one of the savings banks cf this State and we find this body of Sybarites to be composed of persons who are even more laborious than delegates to a Democratic Convention. All the branches of hard workers are repre sented in this army. The largest in number are domestic servants ; then technical laborers; then seamstresses ; 4th. clerks; 5th, tailors ; Cth, waiters ; and 7th, cartmeh. This is the luxu rious aristocracy which is to be brought low. These are the useless members of society who, having invested their all in the promises of the United States, are now to find those promises as valuable as brown paper if the Dem ocrats can only persuade the j?ople to repudiate. It is against this pampered body, against domestics and seam-tresses and clerks and waiters and cartmen it is against the poorest and hardest working members of society that the Democratic Convention raises the cry of repudiation When these persons Unvested in the Government bend-s the Government told them they were to be paid in gold. " Pay 'em in paper," shout the Democratic leaders. When they took the bonds the Gov ernment declared them free from taxa tion. "Tax 'em roundly," cried the Democratic leaders. "But," plead the poor laborers, " we lent money to save the Government." "Ho! ho!" scream the Democratic chiefs, " didn't we tell the Government four years ago that it couldn't save itself and ought to surrender? If you trusted it you must pay the penalty." If the" people care so little about it that they permit the Deaioeratic chiefs to obtain control of the Government they will pay the penalty, and they wili deserve" to pay it. Harpers Weekly. The Canvass in Illinois. BRILLIANT SPEECH OF GEN. JOHN M. PALMER. The campaign in Illinois was opened ( on the iiM inst., by Gen. Palmer, Re publican candidate for Governor, who addressed an immense mass meeting at Marion, Williamson County, the first of a series of similar meetings, in Southern Illinois, to follow in quick succession. We find the speech re ported in full in The Chicago Evening Journal. The extracts given below will show that Gen. Palmer is a live man. He is sound to the core on the greenback question. He gave a com parison of the respective merits of Grant and Seymour as statesmen, and threw a strong light on the character of Frank Blair. From the portion of his speech relating to that gentleman we make a few extracts : "You will remember that after a number of days' labor, the Democratic party nominated Mr. Seymour. You will also remember that Pendleton, Hancock, Hendricks, Packer, Rnglish, Church, and others, were voted for in that Convention, and that after a long and patient struggle, by some sort of hocus-pocus, Horatio Seymour was discovered to be tue choice of every member of the Convention! It took a good many days, however, to arrive at the conclusion. And you also recol lect that Frank Blair wras chosen on the first ballot. Now, how do you ex plain that difference? Let us see let us see what the difference is. These men were all put in nomination by their resective States. Frank Blair was put in nomination byAYni.- C. Preston, of Kentucky and you remem ber that lie was a Brigadier-General in the Rebel army. His nomination was seconded by liwd. The c-il of States was continued for nominatioa for the Vice-Presidency. Illinois mark that Illinoisans Illinois presented the name of John A. McClernand. a com peer that is a man who lived at the same time! a compeer of Clay and Webster, in that resjeet. Great ap plause. He lived at the same time. He was the distinguished general of the late war, whose braius conceived the capture of Yicksburg. The whole credit of that achievvment was given to a much inferior man. That infe rior man was Grant. Shouts of laughter. Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, made a few remarks, in which he "said the nomination was due to the West, and presented the name of Gen. Frank P. Blair of Missouri. Asa Southern sol dier, he had diifered with Gen. Blair in tLe war, but he desired to say that the soldiers of the South extended their hands to the soldiers of the North as a token of amity and good will. A delegate from Alabama led off, saying: "I, as a Rebel soldier of Alabama", take great pleasure in casting her vote for the gallant Union soldier, Gen, Frank Blair." Maryland sustained Blair. And, when Tennessee was called, Mr. Wilson introduced Napoleon Bona parte Forrest-did you ever see him? i 'J i"D n him." "I was there." "I know him. ."1 He is a first-rate Dern- i i ocrat now. Since the war closed he j . and papers, with the old Demo- j L oucrht to have been shct," He pol'cv.of exciting the poor . uuw In. iua leiiowsmp witu the Mimt th r-nh nnd "t hp r-or.lp.

And now, unless the old fellow with the tail and horns gets him. I don't see but he is safe. The mention of his name was greeted, the reporter sr.ys, with, "great cheering." At the name of Napoleon Bonaparte Forrest, in that Democratic Convention, there was "groat cheering." Groans. I want to know my fellow-citizens, if the loyal and true men of this country, thoe who have met him in battle, "if the widows and orphans of those who have been slain by the myrmidons of that infamous traitor "that's it" share in the joy exhibited in that Con vention at his" condescending to pre sent himself at a political assemblage in this free country? "No, d n 'em'" "Great cheering!" frrra the fact that Napolcozi Lk-iiaarta Fori-t, opened his mouth in a Democratic; Convention ? After he (Mr. Wilson; was done, Mr. Forrest rose, c?L-t the vote for Blair, and thanked the Con vention for the courtesy and kindness; extended by its members to the sol diers of the south. Col. Ashbel Smith ofTexas also seconded the nominations Other Rebels spoke, all voted, but that Democratic Convention took no ballot. Why? Because Frank Blair was the choice of the Rebels in that convention, aud Frank Blair had given them excellent reasons for pre ferring hin. My fellow-citizens, I tell you that Frank Blair was nominated "because he is pledged to civil war, if civil war is necessary to overthrow these Gov ernments established in the South under the authority of Congress. Up to w'ithin a siiort time the Democratic party had no more bitter and malignant foo than this same Frank P. Blair. " That's so." And, by the way, when I was in St. Louis, in?:he Fall of ISOo, a friend of mine told me a story that very aptly illustrates Gen. Blair's opinion of the Democratic party. He said Frank was standing in front" of one of the hotels there, and some old "Democratic ward politican came up and said; "General I hear that you have come back." "Why, yes," says Frank, "I have. I left you some years ago, when you were rich and proud and strong, audi came back to you when you are poor, weak, and defeated, G d d n me." Laughter. Tbe Change in Fashions. k The July number of Le Beau JJondc discourses of the prevailing fashions as follows : " If a lady were aked to expre?3 in a couple of words what changes have taken place in the fashions during the past month, she would reply, even if she did not, 4 shorter and skimpier,' crinoline had such a rage, and became so unbounded, that it wa only natural to exect a very violent reaction. But nobody could have anticipated such a state of things as now exits. A little more, and a long step will not be an impossibility. Again, ladie blessed with a profusion of hair, having dresed it in the prevailing style, and having adopted the extreme pf fashion, present a very unplea-ing apearance. Some judgment should be used in the?-e matters. For our parts, we believe the want of proportion now evident in all the fashions will be compensated by the alsolute introduction of the farthinzale itself, and the abandon ment of the many shapes of imitation of that adjunct "which the la-1 two month? have I -een industriously hatch ing, and which have this month taken something like decision of shape. " Assuredly, the hips must be draped in some maimer. It is quite impossi ble that the totally narrow skirt, ut terly unrelieved, can prevail. Of the eight figures with which we present our readers this month, scarcely one is plain at the hips. " The hair i3 still worn at the sum mit of the head in Paris, but the style has not been adopted in England by the very best people. "The short-dress ball ha3 had the effect of reducing the length of the trains, while at the same time, they are somewhat filled out behind. "The proper length of an out-door dress is certainly not more than three inches from the ground, while these skirts are now relieved somewhat from their meanness of appearance either by fiat frills sometimes two, one above the other rue-kings, or llat 11 u-. tings. " Of the extraordinary and chaotic shapes of what may be culled over skirts, we can scarcely venture to say anything. They sometimes take the shape of rounded aprons in front, squaring off into a jacket line behind, the whole completed with long wide knotted ends. Again a sort of George III. period, half-square, in the mate rial of the dress, is combined with a half-loose bodice, which is completed with falling ends behind. In other cases, a sort of curtain diapered skirt in gauze, black or white, is draped over the under-skirt, swept alnjut the dress, raised behind at the waL-t. and completed by falling end. In other cases, from a cuirasse girdle Hows a loose drapery of the material of the dress, which, being loojed underneath to the waist again after falling a few inches, gives the idea of an antique Grecian bodice, an effect enhanced by the sweeping and crossed drapery flow ing over the skirt. "In other cases, to the skirt of the dress is given the exact semblance of a petticoat, becau.-e the material is not used at all in the upper skirt, which is loojed up all the way round, while over the back fails the long lowed ends of a Marie Antoinette fichu, worn so low over the bo lice as to give at its upward line the outline of evening dress. In these case-s the whole of the upj.T-skirt, the fichu, the bow is made of the same compadour silk, always a diaper of bouquets ur on a dark ground, frequently black. The petticoat being generally made of light colored mate rial, the'eontrost is most marked and delilierate. "Sometimes the rounded apron style is so managed that it reminds one of the leather apron of a sapper and miner. "Sleeves for out-door dress remain quite plain in cut. They are generally trimmed with epauletts and waist bands in character with the llat trim mings of the skirt. " For evening dress, sometime? the half-square, of the material of the dress as it passes over the shoulder, forms the sleeve. In other case3, when the bodice i3 cut square in front, the sleeve is Cat, and almost angular, while, in other ca-es, actually something like a melon sleeve is to be seen. "Jet is not to be seen, and gold, how ever, is gradually creeping into popu larity." Sanford E. Church has received the degree of LL. D. from the Universitv of Rochester. ; vn i i r of the M 1 -!

The person who acted Mr. Sey mour's attorney en tL? oor of the New York Convention, while th principle was in the e hair, has writ ten a letter to a seml-rvbel ctktratioa in Washington Citr, in whi h hesay that the great poL:kal batt'e is to be fought in the heart cf th country which lies between the Hudson and the Mississippi rivers. This is a con cession that New ilr.rlan J is to be , abandoned, and that Mi-souri, Iowa, Miiie-sota, Nebraska. NevaJa. Cali fornia and Oregon are too certain to go for Grant to justify the vru.zs cf money or time in tryiagtoaccomr'Iisli anything there for tlie next rebellion. So, according to this somi-efUclal authority, Seymour's ba:;Li ground is to be tne be it of country rm', racing.

The Democracy have staked their List hepe upon this election, and they will tlgnt desperately. They will busily wor. in ail the-e States to accomplish their ends. They are, according to the mouthpiece of their commander, to be ahvavs on the assault- They are to attack, never to dvt'end. They are to invent calumny, they are to make charges, they are to denounce but they are never to'j-ermit themselves to i involved in defence of cither their platform or their party.

There is to be no argument upou prin ciples ; no deiVnce of Seymour's niub law, nor of Blair's reUhion; no ex planation of the financial policy ; no explanation cf anything nothing; Lut "hurrah for Seymour and Blair ;'' "down with the bondholder;" 'des ' trov the banks."

The DemxTatie journals are at a loss for arguments with which to eppcea Grant and Colfax, and in the abs-enca of any facts they have entered largely into the lying and forgery buainerja. Here is an old lie? re-vamped: "Chant in 134.
