The LeRington Centennial.
Wabhxnoton, ATiril "SuV^-The following
are extxaota,iV>ni tho ^ojrnlfffknv centen?
nial speeches: A toast to tKo President
of tho United States was responded to in
the usual manner by his Exoollenoy.
[This, and nothing more, reached Wash?
ington concerning the President's ad?
dress.] Richard H. Dana, Jr., replied
in a witty and happy speech to "The
State of South Carolina - novor will Mas?
sachusetts forget the proud response of
South Carolina the very night she hoard
the war-note from Lexington." Ho said
that Qov. Chamberlain may veto every?
thing he wishes, but ho must not veto
our earnest'' respect for a voice from the
Palmetto State.
A letter from, Gladstone was the only
response to the toast, "England and the
United States." He says: "In a retro?
spective view of an eventful period, my
countrymen can now contemplate its in?
cidents with impartiality. I do not
think they should severely blame their
ancestors, whose struggles to maintain
the unity of tho British empire is one
that must, I think, after the late great
war of tho North and South, be viewed
in America with some sympathy and in?
dulgence We - can hardly be expected
to rato very highly, the motives of those
other powers,- who threw their weight
into the other scale; and'who so sensibly
contributed towards determining the is?
sue of the War; yet, for one, I can most
truly say, that whatever the motives
and however painful the process, they,
while seeking to do an injury, conferred
upon us a great benefit', by releasing us
from efforts, the continuation of which
would have been anujgmfced evil. As
regards the fathers rt.fffig&Orican Con?
stitution themselves, L boliovo wo can
and do now contemplate, their great qua?
lities and achievements with an admira?
tion as pure as that of American cilizens
themselves, and can rejoice no less heart?
ily that in the counsels' of Providence,
they wero .made instruments of a pur?
pose most beneficial to the world. Tho
ciroumstanoes under which the United
States begun their national existence,
and their unexampled rapidity, of ad?
vance in wealth and population, enter?
prise" and power, have imposed on. their
people an enormous responsibility. They
will bo' tried as we shall, at tho bar of
history, but on a greater scale. They
will be compared with the men, not only
of . other countries, but of other times.
They cannot escape from the liabilities
and burdens whion their greatness im?
poses on them. No one desires more
fervently than I do that they may be en?
abled to realize the highest- hopes and
anticipations that belong to their great
position, in tho family of man."
"The North and South." In response
to a complimentary call of the Presi?
dent, Gen. W. F. Bartlelt, of Massachu?
setts, made a remarkable and beautiful
speech. Referring fco the Southern sol?
diers, he said, in conclusion: "As an
American, I am OS proud of men who
charged co bravely with Pickett's divi?
sion, oU our lines at Gettysburg, as I am
of men who bravely met and repulsed
thorn there. Men' cannot always- choose.
' tho right cause; but wb6n having chosen
that which their oonficlep.ee dictates,
they are ready to die Tor it; if they jus?
tify .not their cause, they at least ennoble
themselves; and men who, fox conscience
sake, fought against thoir Government nt
Gettysburg, ought' easily to be forgiven
by tho sons of men who, for conscience
sake, fought against their Government at
Lexington and Bunker Hili. Oh, sir, as
Massachusetts was first in war,, ho. let her
be first in peaod, and fihfebhall forever be
" in the hearts of her countiymen."

Perhaps, after all, we have to rtffy&t
the fashionable' dress-makers to dewtW
death-blow to polygamy. A Salt Lake
Oity correspondent says that one of the
ohief causes of dissatisfaction in Mor
mondom is the introduction of fashiona
able dress-making and the consequent
creation of a taste among the Mormon
women for finery. They have disco?
vered that where a man has half a dozen
wives, it is impossible for him'to foot'all
the millinery and dress-making bills,
and consequently a number of the ambi?
tious have become warm advocates of
monogamy, as they perceivo snob a state
enables tnem to gratify the dress pro?
pensity. Very few of the Mormons are
able to pay for the fashionable costum?
ing of five or ten wives. Before bustles
and other paraphernalia were intro?
duced, the saints had an easy time, as
their wives dressed in the coarsest ma?
terial. Let Utah be colonized by fa?
shionable dress-makers, by all means.
Some little excitement has been cre?
ated in Brooklyn bv a scandal in fa?
shionable circles, and a prospective tra
gody therefrom, which is expected to
take place in California. About eight
months ago, a well-to-do young man, en?
gaged in business as house agent in "Wil
liamsburg, was married to a daughter of
a New \'ork merchant. The married
couple resided in a fashionable locality
in Brooklyn, the sister of tho bride
dwelling with them. About two weeks
ngo, it was discovered that both wife and
sister-in-law were about to become mo?
thers, and discovery led to the flight of
the son-in-law, who left suddenly for
California. The indignant father of the
two ladies has sworn vengeance, and has
started in pursuit, armed with a black
valise and two formidable looking re?
volvers. The sequel is anxiously looked
for.
An Important Judicial Decision.?An
Important decision was rendered by
Judge Pearson, at Harrisburg, Pa., on
Wednesday, declaring tho tax on coal,
imposed bj the Act of the Pennsylvania
Legislature of 1874, unconstitutional.
The question involves not less than
$4.50,000 of revenue, at the lowest esti?
mate, and bv some it is calculated as
high as SI .000,000. Should theSuprome
Court sustain the Court below, an extra
session of the Legislature may become a
necessity. Under the new Constitution
an extra session is confined strictly to
the consideration of such questions as
the Governor specifies in his proclama?
tion, and he would, of course, limit their
action to financial measures. The tax
was decided to be unconstitutional under
the clause of the new Constitution which
requires taxes to be imposed uniformly
upon the same class of property.
A tow-boat attached to a barge suc?
ceeded in smashing its way through the
ice in the Hudson, from Albany to New
York, on Wednesday, thus opening the
river for the season. One of the steamers
accomplished, also, the feat in the oppo?
site direction. It is just 120 days since
the river was closed for the season?the
longest period known since the winter
of 1842-43, when the stream was ice?
bound for 13(1 days.
At Cedar Keys, Fla., a real pirate has
appeared?an aged Spaniard, who calls

in tho burial of a large amount of trea?

ceeded in discovering an Iron box, con?
taining many precious stones and old
Spanish coins, of an estimated value of
$10,000.
At a meeting of ex-Confederate soldiers
in Memphis, Tenn., to arrunge for de?

those present at tho meeting wero ex
President Jefferson Davis, ex-Governor
Isham G. Harris and Generals Colton,
Green and Gordon.
Very Compromising.?The banks all
over the country are compromising with

$25 to $500. Tho Commissioner does not
desire to bring suits against the banks if
he can avoid it.
