He entered tho army in 1813, but resigned in 1828, studied law, and was admitted to the bar. In 1812 he was elected to the New York Assembly; in 1845 was made Senator in Congress for the unexpired term of Silas Wiight; in 1852, was appointed Assistant, Treasurer of the United States in New York city, and in 1859 was made Postmas­ ter. In December, 1860, hs was appointed President Buchanan's Secretary of the Treasury in place of Howell Cobb. In May, 1861, he was commissioned Major General of United States volunteers, and subsequently reooived the same rank in the regular army. He was appointed Minister to Paris in I860, and in 1872 elected Governor of New York. He was again nomin­ ated in 1874, and defeated by Tildes. This ended hi a political career. He has contributed to a number of journals and published several works.

Castlereagh made the mailing, and a magnificent contest ensued, and it was apparently either horse'« raoe when they were passing the Totten­ ham course down to the .grand stand. In this exciting state of the contest, Archer called ap Parole for an effort, and the gallant gelding nobly responded, and, putting' forward a wond­ rous effort, passed the judge's chair ahead of Oastlereagh.

The bai to projfi* for the exchange of subsUUarr silver col® for legal-tender money was discussed. Mr. De La ttatyr filed a petition embodying a bill to e«tat>Hah "greenback currency," and to re­ lieve the financial distress of the country by granting aid to certain companies In­ corporated by State authority for works ot internal improvement. It provides that the Secretary of tbe Treasury be required to have pre­ pared cotes and obligations of the United State* to the aggregate of f l.UW.l'WMHK), to be known as " irrmiback currency." for general circulation ia amounts and form aa tbe bill provides, which notes OP obligations shall constitute a legal tender for all debts, and receivable tor all United States Govern­ ment dues. The Btwmte resumed consideration ef the Army Appropriation bill on the Slst. Mr. Bayard took the floor and defended the incorporation of general legislation in Appropriation bills, there being nothing unusual in it; henee tho cry of " rev­ olution m wtM unsubstantial and foollsh.and the peo­ ple wouM condemn It. He condemned all conduct which would toad to prevent tfe« sesteratiom of full confidence end friendship to all p&x-ts ot the country. Se waa well assured *.h%* the hos­ tility of one sectlc n against the other would speedily load to depression and degradation, and ultimately ruin fcotu, and, in conclusion, ex­ pressed his conMence that the American people would support the majority in their present legis- Istion, as it was in the direction of justice, end had for its obiect the protection of the liberties of the people. Mr. Maxey followed Mr. Bayard in m speech strongly advocating the repeal of the ElecUon laws. In the House, a per­ fect avalanche of bills was introduced, the total number being 1,385. Ihe largest number, by all odde, mvar before introduced In Congress In one day B» following are among the most im­ portant one«; To provide for reviving the Ala­ bama Claims Court; to provide for the distribu­ tion of the Geneva award fund; to extend the time for the completion of the Northern Pacific railroad ; to retire trade dollars ; to increase the volume of currency; to appoint a National Board of Railroad Commissioners; to prohibit the farther increase of the interest-paying debt; t@ - enforce the observance of the Eight- Heur law; to pay all Government workmen aa Increase of wages where they work over eight hours per dsy; to establish boards of assistants in the navy; to reorganise the army; to amend the law relating to the reimbursing of States for money spent in equipping troops during tbe war; to amend the Postal laws; to provide for ths taxing ef ineomes. The Army bill was further debated in the Ben- ate on the 98d. The first speech was delivered by Mr. Garland, of Arkansas. After discussing at length the legal aspect ef the questions at Issue, he passed to the question of the propiiety of attach­ ing the proposed repeal to an Appropriation bill. Mr. Garland said the practice was aa old one, and, whatever its faults, it could not be uprooted ssve by a constitutional amendment. He reviewed some of the notable Instances of similar action by ltepnb:ican majoiitics. and said the cry of revolution was raised too late to be sincere. He alluded to Mr. Blaine's enumeration ®i the consequences of a failure to provide for the expenses of the Government, and declared, rather than see the liberties of the humblest citizen longer abridged by law,.which it was in the power *t C»ngro»B to repeal, h« would se® tea Capitol wajn- ble to pieces. Ihe ships rot at their moorings, and the Supreto* Court uufrecked. Mr. D*vis, of Illinois, apoke next. lie said the sixth sec­ tion of the Appropriation bill propose* to strike from both aeciions the words "or to keep peace at the polls," and nothing more, so that ths army caniuot be UHed hereafter at elections for any purpose. AH AA abstract proposition, could there l« any rational objection to thin? Ought the army to be used at the polls whea there has been pro­ found peace for more than a decade! IKIM anyone believe that such a law would ever have received tlie approval of the American Congrem if it had been brought forward in time of peace, Hie charge that this it< revolutionary legislation ha* no force. It might be called a partisan device. Congrews has power tin­ der the constitution to raise and equip inaia,|Bd toe HousMf ItepresentaUves hold the pui ' " endi nStSE: • army. wiSh The amendment is germane to the bil , ply a condition as to the use of the army. the people's representatives had a perfect right to impose, it is not in sny proper sense general leg­ islation. and if it was the statute-books are full of precedents that the friends of the present measure luight cite * against their opponents. Mr. Alliion, of Iowa, followed Mr. Davis. He believed it was revolutionary to force an amend­ ment of' the constitution without ordinary pro­ cesses. Ihe constitution says that bills shall be passed by both houses and receive the signature of the President in order to become law, yet it was now proposed to make the President's signature a condition to the appropriation oi money to defray the Government expenses. Gen. Jackson would have b'*en amazed at such presumption. He read from Jackson's messags to the Sqdate in 1814 protesting against a resolu­ tion passed by that body to the effect that the President had acted outside of his con­ stitutional perogatives, and saying that If such Interference with the Independence of the Ex- ecu lve was allowed to pass nnnotioed, and grew into a custom, it would be as effective in destroying liberty of action in the inde­ pendent departments of the Government as if a constitutional amendment were adopted throwing into the hands of the President the power delegated to the Senate. 1 he House passed Mr. Stephens' bill to provide for an iuWchauge tiiibtjhiiary oolns for itgai-U-nder mon^y, and to make such coins a legal tender in all •tints not «xce«:<liDK $20. There was a sharp de­ bate over the political amendments to the Legis­ lative bill, but the guns were of small caliber and made little noise. There was a sharp discussion in the Henate, en the S'dd, over the reeolutton to rescind the role regarding the renroval of Senate employes. An amendment proposed by Mr. Pendleton, that the employes shall be only retained se long as accept­ able to a majority ot the Senate, was adopted by a vote ef 36 to S3. The debate on tbe Army bill was then resumed, and Messrs. Williams, of Kentucky, and Jones, of Florida, spoke ia favor of tbe repeal of the Election laws, a£u»r which there was a sharp colloquy between Messrs. lilaine and Butler lu re- j-ard i© alleged charges of bulldozing and election frauds ia the bouth Mr. lilaine, in closing the de­ bate, paid his respects to Mr. Davis, ef Illinois. He denied to that senator the right to carry the tradi- lions and iame and glory of Abraham Lincoln into the Democratic camp. He might go there himself, and he might sit on that side of the Senate, where he was the only man that gave Lincoln a sup­ port. Had Lincoln lived, an the Henstor is aid. some things might and others might not have happened. But the thing that had happened was that & senator on this floor, elected by Uemocrata over a Union soldier, bad spoken as a representative oi Abraham Lincoln. Tht» Senator had tbe right to go when and where lie pleased. He had the right to address to the living what he chose, but he had no right to drag the greatest aian of the last ten centuries into the mire of the party that he would have opposed to his death. The House continued the discussion of the Legielntive bill, Mr. I-rya bttng the first speaker. He based his opposition to the repeal of the Federal Election laws chiefly on the good ef­ fect of their operation in tlie city ot New York, where, he said, false rt-g stration, repeating, voting OB names of dead men and convicts had been pretty effectually stopped by the enforcement ot those laws. Mr. Robeson followed In a two hours' speech/ His argument was that tbe power of the United State* to make controlling regulations as to federal elections iu the States is constitutional; that In pursuance of that authority the Federal Election lawn have been passed, and should not be repealed. Mr. llnley argued la lavor ot tfts proposed repeal. Though it was true speelal Marshals could only be appointed in cities of 90,000 and upward, still, under the decision of Attorney General Tsft in IWfi, Deputy Marshals to ths number of 11.000 had been appointed iu no less thsn S,224 prccincts. Of these 11,000 Deputy Marshals, 10.410 bad been placed in strong Derao- cjaticor lu doubtiul precincts. Of the remaining BOO, 888 Md been stationed in Philadelphia aud he had it upon sood authority that the ereafe-et bulk of them had been stationed in lUndall's district. The discussion of tbe proposed repeal of the rule relating to Senate employee waa continued in the Senate on the 2ith, but no action was taken. The Army bill was then taken up, and Mr. Oonk- tlng addressed the Senate. He caii there was a purpose on the part of the Democrats to stop the appropriations unless certain legislation is con­ ceded. It was a plain duty of Congress to make ap­ propriations to keep tlie Goverumetn alive, and a refusal to do so is revolutionary and treasonable. Thus far the achievements of the Democratic ma iority had befn easy, but the trial was yet to come. It would be more ditMeult. Hie party had got themselves into a predicament, aud unless the Executive led tbem out they would have to back ont. They bad been told that it the President re­ fused to accept these bills with all their political exereeecnose, ana yield to a majority, they will T*®*te thstr seats and lesve the Government moneyless. If the milerity should mske such Sey*would^^iMhjJ^^s MSTM**&£tSS they relinquished their monstrous pretension, and abandoned their treasonable pesitioa. Mr.Oatak- liug spoke ttiree hours, sad hlsHIort is pronounced by the Bm«hlleaas.the ablest yet delivered darts* Jhe long debate. ,|mn| smendaients were offered by the BepnUtosas to the repealing clauses, all ot which were voted down by theDemc : --la the Kcmws, the day was devoted to tbe discussion of the Legislative Mil, and quite a number of speeches were made. Mr. GtUMte said that he did not consider that there waa any pressing necessity forplsolwrttMproposedledsMton on the Appro- priattoa bills, anl he should, therefore, vote to stalks It out; hat, if It was rstaiaed. he would vote for the passage of ths bill, not with a view, how» ever, of forcing Executive approval. Alluding to Republican rale In Louisiana, hs said that, according to what he heard, he thought that hell must he better governed than Louisiana. He denounced the Connecticut AnU-tramp law, and declared that, before saying to ths Chi­ nese that they must go, he would say to every law on ths statute-book which oppressed the laboring clsasss that it must go; the national banks must go; the national bonds must go; tbe land-monopo- litts must go; the mountains of idle money in the treasury must go into ths channels of businees; the millions absorbed by coin bonds must go out ones more to make glad the heart of the toiler. What people wanted was bread, not blood. Mr. Do La Matyr spoke in the same vein. Down with the puerile cry of revolution, raised by those who had been cowards on one slds or cormorants on the other. He had no language to utter his supremo con­ tempt for it. The country wanted peace, not re­ opening of sectional strife, Mr. Haxelton de- nOunoed the Greenback representatives for tbe fol- de-roll in which they had been indulging. He said that they appeared to him to be prepared to stab the national credit and honor, and that these speeches were like the chattering of some maudlin individual at a funeral. Mr. Bragg toUov.»-rt Mr Haxelton. He saift thu attempt of the KepuMiean party to arouse a feeling of alarm in the KortU had failed. The people of New York ki ew that the men of the South who had been brav.t enough to light tho battle, when they had laid down their arms had laid them down as bravo men al­ ways did, accepting the consequences of their de­ feat. When the boys in blue and the gray had knelt together at the feet of the Goddess of Liberty, the boys in blue had stood sponsors for the hoys in gray, as they would always stand against any party or men who attempted to break down ths bulwarks of civil liberty; The attempt of tbe Re­ publican party was to stiffen the backbone of the President and force him to starve the army to death. It would be a fitting close to the Kepub- licsn party in the executive branch of the Govern­ ment for their President to signalise his last term by attempting to defeat the will of the people for the purpose of doing the will of his party. The result of the adroit knavery of that party had been to cheat the ballot-box of the fruits of its victory, and still the Republicans had cheek enough to talk about the purity of elecUona. The Army Appropriattoa bill was finally passed by the Senate on the 25tb, fey a strict party vote--41 Democrats to 80 Republicans. Several amendments were offered by the Republicans, all of which were voted down. In the House debate en the Legislative bill was resumed, and a number ef mesflbsys delivered themselves of speeches. f 1 - REGICIDE. Tit* Attempt Upon the CM lAf*. [From the Chicago Evening Journal.] The marksmanship of the European King-haters ia something remarkable A would-be assassin at St. Petersburg fires five times at the Czar of Bussia and no harm done. There have been numerous oases ol the same sort, only the German Emperor was peppered a little on ou* occasion. Either "there's a divinity doth hedge a King about," or "Mary Ann" had better take lessons in pistol practice before making any more attempts upon royalty. In this country there was nerer but one shot fired at the chief ruler of the land, and that was fatal, If the Wilkes Booths of the Old World were like him in execution, as in design, hardly a monarch in all Europe would have been alive to-day. In the olden times sovereigns were in danger of assassination from rivals and those who looked for the succession. There were very few Brutuses. Now-# days the danger is quite different. Rest- iveness under monarchical despotism ex­ plains the peril of royalty. The masses are uneasy, and deem it high time the dream of self-government was realized. They see Franoe and the United States getting on well under a republican form of government, and their democratic instincts ace quickened into unwonted activity. There is no «il«tAlriwg the springs of this regicidal mania, albeit the number of those who are prepared to assert the right of self-government by assassination may not be large. As deeply as we may deplore and as em­ phatically as ife may denounce the as­ sassination policy, it is impossible to misread its causa and purpose. There is no country of Europe ia which there exists more occasion for discontent than Bussia. The ruling idea of the Government is absolutism. The Ozar himself is not a verjbad man. Indeed, he has done much to win the applause of good men. But the Mus­ covite method of administering justice is a disgrace to civilization. Only a few days ago were reported the horrors of a prison butchery infinitely worse than regicide, and that massacre was probably the immediate occasion of this attempt at assassination. Evil begets evil, and on® infamy leads to another. Nihilism ip not to be crushed by wanton cruelty and barbaric bloodshed. On the con­ trary, it is upon suoh food that it lives and grows desperate. Kussia is on the edge of a precipioe. The unavailing attempt to kill Alexandor is only one of many exhibitions of a popular discon­ tent which can only be allayed by re­ form. Cruel measures of repression are only aggravations rather than allevia­ tions of the existing evil. AX ENGLISH aPUUTX.

IT appears that swine are not only subject to fata! attaoks of cholera, but also that typhoid fever sometimes at­ tains among them the malignity of an epidemic. An English farmer writes to the London Standard that typhoid was, at the date of his letter, sweeping off large numbers of hogs in Berkshire county. As an instance of the mortality among the herds of breeders, he states that one breeder lost fifty-one hogs out of a herd of fifty-six, and another fifty- five out of fifty-eight.

When they reached their Turkish quarters, the Sultan's Government refused to pay them for the twenty-tw* months they had been prisoners in Bussia, and so they de­ termined to go baok to Sebastopol and beooM# subjects of the Ozar. To do so pfopdflj atad.. acceptably, they em- braoed Christianity. At their baptism the most prominent Bussians of the plaoe quarreled with each other for the honor of being godfathers of these new Christians, who at @n«e acquired many powerful friends and patrona. DR. CABVBB is astonishing the people of England by his shooting. America can afford to send Carver abroad as a sample of our marksmen. There is not a nation on the earth that would pick a quarrel with a people who could all shoes like the doctor. His latest feat, says an exchange, "was performed for a wager of £100 sterling, that he would hit an apple upon the end of a knife held by his colored attendant riding on horseback at full gallop at a distance of thirty yards. A large apple waa procured, and stuck on the end of a pruning knife. The negro mounted a horse, and held the target as far as possible from his body. The start was made about 100 yards away, and when the rider came within range, riding at a furious gallop, the doctor fired. The first attempt was a failure, and odds of £10 to J£2 were bet against Carver. The second time he struck the apple, knocking it into half & dozen pieces." JACK Broroir, Captain of theVicks- bnrg (Miss.) night police, entered the wine-room of a variety theater in that place, and began playfully knocking off the hats of all who came within the reach of his cane. Among others thus treated was Joe Dent, but, unfortunate-. Ij, Burton's cane glanced and struck Joe in the eye. John Dent, his younger brother, rose from his chair and said to Burton: "See here, Jack, you're get­ ting too rough. If this thing don't stop somebody will get hurt" Burton , replied: "If you don't like it, let her jump," drew his pistol and fired twice. John Dent was struck in the knee and fell. Cammings, a doorkeeper, was struck in the hip and fell, and, as he arose, he saw John Dent rise also, when Buxton deliberately took aim at Dent, again flred„ and Dent fell dead with a ball in Ms temple. Burton was shot in the shoulder Made, but the evidence did not disclose who fired the shot. Dent is the fourth man who has been killed in Yioksburg within six weeks. but that he meant tlbe cut on her faoe to be a warning,Hat, with the self same knife, he would make another assault upon her, and take her life, if she did not forsake her favored lover and con­ sent to become Mrs. Washington Smith.

Previous to 1860 the largest product of the State in any single year falls short of 50,000 pounds; but the amount of yield has since been quintupled, although the cultivation of the staple has been retarded by the necessity of employing, to a large ex­ tent, hand labor in all the processes. It is stated, however, that a machine has recently been invented to separate the fiber from the shive, and its perform­ ances, examined by a committee of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, and by some experts from the North of Ire­ land, have been pronounced highly sat­ isfactory. , A novLUs feature of advertising,Ib0-' hibiting the channels into which it grav­ itates even in great cities, is the fact that in Boston, New .York, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, New Orleans and Mobile the Sun­ day editions of the daily news­ papers are more sought as advertis­ ing mediums than any other issues of those papers. Advertisers doubtless reason that the Sunday editions of the established daily journals are more leisurely and thoroughly read than any other issue, and the result is that the advertising is doubled or trebled for that day. The theory of Saturday as a favorite day for advertising was a ra­ tional one while daily papers issued no Sunday editions; but, since daily news­ papers of the best class on Sunday are recognized in every city of the Union as the best conservators of public morals, next to the pulpit, here, as else­ where, advertisers will speedily learn to appreciate the. value of the columns of the Sunday editions of daily journals se the very best medium of reaching t^ie paMia.--Philadelphia Tim**. A imi of East river was on ire a few mornings ago, and the uncommon spec­ tacle was witnessed by many thousands, in New York city. The pipe which car­ ries crude petroloum from the New Tork Central depot under the river to the refineries at Hunter's point burst, and soon the entire surface of the river between Astoria and Blackwell's was covered with oiL Some little boya playing on the river's edge noticed the oil and ignited it with matches, and soon the river front was ablaze for a full rnila.. The fire department was called out and engaged for a while in the humorous work of pumping water into the river, until it fcas found to be of no service* Finally, as the flames leesened, tugs and propellers were sent out to agitate the water. Some were slightly scorched They kept plowing the river up and. succeeded in checking the fire and ex­ tinguishing it here and there, thus, breaking the continuous sheet of flame. But it was not until all the oil in the pipe had risen to the surface and'had been oonsumed that the flames died out. ' This was fully four hours after the out­ break.

THE MARKETS. * "ft * WASHIKGTOK SMITH, of St. Laurie Is a genius. He scorns the old-fashioned way; . He fell in love with Mies Frank!© Hall, who was engaged to another man; and, instead of getting acquainted with her and wooing her "with sentimental sigh, and laughing look, and piquant peanut, he stationed himself near her residence one night, and, as the object of his devotion appeared, fell upon her with a gleaming pocket-knife, inflicted a wound on her cheek, and then silently and swiftly departed. On the next day he wrote her a love letter, in which, over his own signature, he declared his love, and acknowledged his attack upon her, explaining that he did not intend to injure her more seriously than he had done, NSW TOOK.
