On the game day last week, tlie people of Cincinnati voted, ten to one, in favor of a ten Million city loan to build a railroad South to Chattanooga, and saw the completion of tbeir ?South Hide Railroad to Louiavillc. It was ?d good day's work. They now ejtpect to Lav? ?their new road beguu at one?," and they al endy felicitate tlicrottlvos on having, hy the i-iliictli.n of the time between tho twu cities u. four hours, made Louisville ? suburb of Cin? cinnati. Their next aim is t?> make the Cen? tral South the harvest -.?rid O? theil merchants. It giTM a new st'iis;iti??n to realize tlisit tlio Jipancmi arc about to light tlit-it battle at mtb\ and (rust ?he cnii.e of Mikado ituain.M Tycoon to the arbitrament ot rama. Qen. l-'umoto, the leader Of the auti-Mikadists, is of such doughty enterprise that one of his vessels entered Jcddo, inspected the Mikado's fleet, and went out again without receiving n ibol ft***? brj or fleet. Taking Commodore Kowau's word for it. the fault of the war rests with the anti Mikado party, it being settled that tho Ty eoonate for which they tight has been abol? ished. The morality of the contest will belong to tho stronger side. We ?houle! be glad to know whether the report is true that of the Pacific I Jail way Com? panies receiving Government subsidies, only one has yet responded to the, Secretary's call for a deposit of bonds with tho U. S. Treasurer as security for the completion iu first-class style of their several lines, in accordance with tho Joint lit-solution of Congress. Such a rumor is current ; and we beg to say that it is too grave to pass unnoticed, whether it bo false or true. That Joint Bcsolution is neither a dend letter nor a joke. Let us know what securities havo been deposited by each lload, as guarantee for tho repair of its delicieucies iu construction ! As the learned ladies of the State are now to have college degrees granted to them by tho "Institutes" in which they havo been edu? cated, it is a botheration to consider that, gram? matically, a woman can be neither a Jlaehelor of Arts nor a Master of Aits. Tho various reforms of tho century promise, indeed, to make a hopeless jumble of gender. "A. M." may well enough signify in English "Mistress "of Arts,'1 but it will be (mpoaaiblo to givo "A. " B." anything like a feminino twist. "A. V." might stand for "Virgin of Arts,'* but suppose that the graduating fair happens to be mar? ried ? "A. M." might equally answer for ".Miss "of Arts" or "Matron of Arts," but it would lie, we fear, as the lawyers say, "Void for _a " certainty." _______ From tho bottom of ouv heart we pity Secre? tary Boutwell. Hero ho has been obeying tho law by dismissing one hundred and twenty-six women scrubbers and sweepers, and sentencing the remaining seventy to tho task of keeping the Tnasuiy clean, (if course each ono of tho one hundred and twenty-six bas a special case, showing special reasons for rein? st, itement, If tlie poet Secretary isn't driven crazy by the appeals which they will force him to listen to, ho will give eveu greater proofs of streugth of niiud than the country has already witnessed. Perhaps, however, he can set the (.?.-?charged scrubbers to sweeping out the su? pernumerary or worthies* clciks in tho De? partment. If he can, we vote for their rein? statement, brooms and all, at double wages. The question having been anxiously aeked, What shall we do with our Chinamen and newly arrived Japanese..* California answers it bv producing silk. There is no reason why certain portions of our country should not abound in eilk-cultur,?, and now, after decades of experiment, it seems that this enterprise has como to fruition. Our imported silk conies originally from China and Japan. If Japan and China come to M, aud r?3ar the silk-worm for us, we have ell? et? d a saving. This is the caso in California, which a Chinaman lately said wan the beat silk-grow iiig country in tlie u mid, In cause the blunderers at the cocooneries hail not baas ai?io t<? km batht l?? worms. In the exhaustivo and remarkable ar? ticle which we print to-day on our second page. on the rise and growth of the silk-culture, (In claims of this new interest are oppoitimely presented. Our silk is already so important a consid?ration that with reasonable protection it is believed we can, in less than t-t-ri >? drive out the last threads of foreign the man? ufacture. _ _ We respectfully invite the at tent ion of the legal authoiitiim to the cva-ion of law whereby, for speculative purposes, by means of lot king up money and otherwise, the late of intiiest paid for shoit accommodations in Wall-st. was Msttiday engineered up to figures correspond? ing to from fifty to two hundred and MVeatj per cent, per annum. We contemplate with the most path nt philosophy the hug? whereby the bears themselves are crushed, aud the spectacle of the bulls gored into bankruptcy on thesliaip points of their own horns;?we ait? piofoundly indifferent to the ups and downs of Central, and are perfectly willing that those who choose to gamble should have to beat gambler*1 risks. But the- engineeiing of tin? price of money up to such monstrous figures means mischief to regular business. We invite the legal authori? ties to consider how it is done, and see w hither it comes within the statute. The London Star makes an Important con? trast of the Ryan expedition to Cuba with the case of the Alabama. The Alabama escaped armed with an ordinary crew; the Cuban ex? pedition sailed out with a regiment of men. Here, of course, is un admirable opportunity to rend us a lecturo on tho virtue of neutrality. We aro plausibly warned that unless we comply with our neutral obli? gations we will loso tho hold which our Claims have upon public opinion. What strikes us more feelingly is the inevitable sug? gestion of Tfte Star, that in tho Anglo-Rebel war against us Great Britain was as pro? nouncedly upon the sido of our foes as the people of America are ut this moment against tho Spaniards. Yet our Government, frankly and positively declaring this latter truth, lias assured tho representative of Spain that we shall carry out our legal compact with tho nations. Acting upon this understanding, the Spanish Minist?-! lias procured tho arrest of the members of the ('uban Junta and others conspicuous iu the Cuban cause. Great Britain, in the whole eoiiiH- of her action toward us, cannot show a performance more signally man? ifesting a disposition to be just to the letter, even though that letter seem lamentable to ourselvos and those whom we wish that we could aid powerfully and honor? ably. Our moral position with respect to a people cruelly oppressed aud struggling for their liberties under a banner of auti Slavery has every elemeut of defense. The cotliuiou of non-slaveholding En? gland with the slave-owning South was tho very reverse of this. Some arms havo escaped the law and gono to tbe Cubans, concerning which happy accident we shall not wring our hands. But if this has happened to Spain despite the vigilance of her Minister, hundreds of similar doings have occurred to us at British hands, from Nasaiiti and elsewhere, and in the face of ouf standing indignation. Wo bag, therefore, that our Uritish friend? I ?_ ?? ????... will not Im overmuch etreflfl uiioii the aid winch it is tbi Mrtanfl of Cuba t<> gain from tin'/??' shores. Whatever lesson events contain, aft shall liiy to Iiciirt; lint we f;til to we tliiit our ease with Cuba i? precisely the kuhc as tli?' affair of E11 ?.'.anil with the Alahaina. ,-r? Intimations from Washington indicate that the Treasury statement for July 1 will show :i further rediii'lion in the aggregate of tho National D?lit of l'en Millions o. Dol?an, Mak? ing ? total reduction of Thirty Millions of Dollars In the first lour mouths' of (?en. (?rant's Ad? ministration, or at tho rate of Ninety Millions ?ui annum. No Government but ours ever paid oil'tho principal of its Debt, while r?gu? lai ly meeting its interest, at such a rato a? that. The interest on our Debt amounts to about One Hundred Millions (gold) per annum, or Ten Millions per month ; and this, with what? ever reductions may bo made in the principal, aro obtained by a Tariff which our Freo Tra? ders have denounced as inevitably destructivo alike to Commerce and Revenue. They do clared in 1801 that tho bill then passed would destroy our Foreign Trado with all Income therefrom ; yet we aro regularly importing foreign merchandise at the rate of sonio Four Hundred Millions per aiinuin and collecting therefrom a revenue of about Ono Iluodred and Eighty Millions per annum. Wo aie importing more goods than all our Exports will pay for, and, if our duties wer? so re? duced that we imported Fifty Millions' worth more per annum, we should only sink so much deeper in debt to Europe or throw more Bread? stuffs, at rates ruinous to tho growers, on the already glutted and unreiniinerative markets of the Old World. Shall not these facts be heeded by all * ho value National Solvency and ahhor the thought of Repudiation! O EN. OEANT A FAILURE. Upon < i ?-ii.

(?owing?was hung ?m Friday laal at Wind-.?.!, m tbfl state ?>i Vermont. He was eleven minutes ?lying; he made DO confession, and, up<ui tbfl gallows, he only " iniiiiililed," and "was apparently in | ".stupor." Ofl was undei-tood, however, to say that." he was in no? -eut ," that "he had " never hurt any of those who were gazing at "him;" and that "he would tiust in Jesu?.'1 Thus it will be 1100 that, except the uncon BCioOaMfl time which he consumed in dying, apparently by strangulation, and n??t cervical fraetore, there was [nothing remarkable about the taking off of Miller. He did and Raid what moa?! of |his pradeeanon have done or -aid. He "mumbled;" he was "in a stupor;" he affiriiietl his Minnocence ;*? and hfl "trusted " III .Jesus." If the object of hanging be ntiihutive tor? ture, which hhall adetpiat? ly atone for theoriflBfl ??( inurder, then the "deven minutes" dining which Miller was struggling hopolciflfllj for life were not long enough. Tbfl spectators, if their hearts were of ordinary tlesh, probably cxpcii ene??! more pain than he did. Indeed, it ha-. been lappOOOd that, after the t\ibt shock, tho aenoatieO? of those who are being hanged are litt her agieeable than otherwise. There are stories, apocryphal no doubt, but with a grain of truth in them, of men who, when the rope ehauced to break, declared dying in that way to ba full of the most exipiisite sensations; and who piteously entreated to be strung up again. If there be any foundation for these b gemls, then Miller, tor at least "eleven minutes," bilked justice, and, in fact, cheated the gal? lows. This brings us to a point to which we have before called attention. If retribution lie tho object of hanging, then hanging is too good for the murderer. It is singular that, whilo de? fending capital executions by citations of the Levitical law and appeals to the Judaical prac? tice, we fail to notice that tho Jews had an exceedingly rich variety of capital punish? ments, some of them original, and some of them borrowed from other nations; but that, in point of fact, they never hanged those con? victed of crime. They stoned (la pida do); they burned (combuttio) ; they beheaded {deeollatio) ; they strangled (suffocatio) ; but it must be ob? served that their strangulation wan not our hang? ing; the malefactor "was put in dung up to "the loins, a towel being cast about his neck, " which two cxecutionrn?, ono on each side, "plucked to and fro until ho was dead." Other capital punishments the Jews derived from foreign countries, and mostly from Home, including crucifixion, sawing asunder, casting to wild beasts, tho wheel, drowning in the sea, and beatiug to death. Now. if tho udvo cates of the death penalty will insist upon tl Jewish law as ?till of paramount, perp?tu?t? and binding aufhoiity, we in our turn insi that, by all the rules of logic and for the sal of decent eonsisiiiicv, they must givo I hanging because the Jews did not hang, at they must substitute crucifixion because tl .lews crucified. If wo are to be literal, let l hi carefully and conscientiously literal! If 1 adhere to tho doctrine of blood for blood, l us shed the blood of the manslayer, and m weakly compromiso matters by hanging hin Let our revenge have the mollify-in Havoc of precedent! Let us secure for our exi entions a veritable air of antiquity! There ai much older regenerators of Bociety than tl gallows?tho cross, tho wheel, tho saw, tl. rack?and why should we leave these as obsc lete, whilo we cling to the still older notio which twists tho cord and ncryes the hangnia and loosens the drop! Wo were accustome in the days of anti-Slavery discussion to as thoso who defended "the institution" from tli Old Testament why they did not keep tli seventh day holy; why they did not revive tli I'nssover and tho Feast of Unleavened Bread and since the Jews had a Jubileo of Emane; pation once in fifty years, why wc might m have one at least onco in two centuries! W were never able to get any answer whe Slavery was in question, and wo sha not probably get any answer now tin Hanging is under discussion. But wo aro to take our jurisprudence from tl Jews, claiming for their codo a special an divine inspiration and infallibility, by whf authority do we receive in part, and in pai reject, according to our tastes, prejudices, an notionst Did Christianity abolish only the ir different and the unimportant in the cercnioni; law, leaving us simply its savage retribution and its cruel penalties! If so, let us courage oiisly look our duty in the face! Let us judi dally kill secuvdtnn leijem, or cease to ki judicially altogether! We think it important to insist upon thi rigonraa fidelity to the letter, becauso a am?liorai ion of primitiva methods is simply suneiidii of the Mosaic legislation npo which they "lay u<"> founded. It is WOI? than idle to talk ot executing men humane!.?, Severity is the soul and inmost essence of th law which we are Striving to preserve even i the broad blaze of % higher form of civilizatio than Moses ever dreamed of. Every effort t mitigate the austciities of that last dreadtu moment is an impeachment of the DtvineWii doin which is supposed to have specially ar ranged the criminal code of the Hebrews. On hundred yean ago men wen hanged the da, after that of conviction.

Fiuther back than I8?0. M. lYnlinani de Laaoapt conceived the plan of his achieve' meat By long intimacy with the vioengi family and court, he won from Eg., pt aoODCOl sinn im the eiiteijiiise, and iu 1864 organized hi-? coiiip.uiv. ?M. Leoaepi was flnallj made m .magi r of a l'uiversal Com])any, under n grant for ninety-nine years, and subject to Egyptian appointment. The works were to be at the Company's expense, and the \ ice-royalty to receive 1*3 per cent of the earnings >early. '1 lie -hip?tariff of the canal should be the saine for all nations, fn case tlie Company deaind to join the canal with the Nile, they might tal?. at their own expense the uncultivated lands thereby. They might qtiany stone free, and similaily import all machinery, god at the end of the tirm of the grant the Egyptian (iovein ii.ent would come into possession of the work. By a clause added m IBBB, l'ou? -fifths of the canal's workmen weietobo Egyptians. These workmen, to the number of HyOOO. WOie to 00 furnished by the (?overnineiit, but the Sultan withdrew this portion of the Viceroy's oiler. The ConpO-J s 11 lit red from want of lalM)r and from Tuikish prejudii i-.-?, and at one time wore ordered to leave Egypt Their complaints being n-fcind to Napoleon by the Viceroy, it was decided that the concession of 1804 was binding, and that Egypt should pay an indemnity of $1(1, HdO.OOO. Th? Canal in all its windings will be one hundred miles, though in a direct line it is but seventy miles long, running through four hikes, and between the termini of Sue/: and Port Said, iu a channel variously from Ml to M8 -Ml wide and '?t) feet deep. At Tort Said, on the Mediterranean, two breakwaters, nearly two and three tltousaud yards long respec? tively, nnd including a triangular area of MO acres, have been built to form a complet? har? bor. They aro hugely formed, being M yards at tho base, 12 in hight, and?* at the summit. At Suez a molo ?."JO yards in length was to bo constructed, 'equally as a protection against gales and tides, for the indging of the Suez channel, and for the reclamation of land?. Statistics show that the Nile pou i out thirteen million cubic yards of sand ami mud into tho Mediterranean, which obstructivo voluuio is borne toward the shore of tho Mediterranean near Tynoh, filling up the sea thereabout with shifting mod and sand. Hence, tho great breakwater of Port Said. But it is upon tho Sue?: side tho work encountered it? greatest trial?. Both provisions aud water, of which tho adjoining country was barren, had to bo brought from Cairo, the latter by a system of pipes. One great effect of the woik, significant ?is to its futuro benellts, is that the popula? tion of SMI has boon iucioauod by it from - ????????????? four or five thousand to 25,000? and much t same may be said of tho other cana! towi Ismaila and Pott ?Said. I'p to April 30th of last year, moro th 187,000^00 had been spent on the Canal, agaii a total of receipts of nearly $70,000,01)0. deriv from auch tractions of the great Canal as I in operation. The Suez enterprise is even n< almost au overwhelming success. The efft opon the world of M. Lesseps's hercule exploit will bo similar to that of our own gre trans-continental railroad. The trade wlii meandered through months about the Afric. Coast and around ('ape Good Hope, and acre thoslndian Ocean, will count its journey rath by weeks. Both by tho ?Suez routo and t canalization of Ceutral America and Mexi? the trade of the world is bound to underj immense revolution. PETTICOATS AT THE BAN. The other day, Mrs. Arabella Mansfield, young lady of 24, was admitted to practice the court? of Iowa. Wo aro heartily glad it, for we dare say. ?there are many functio of an attorney for which Mrs. Mansfield is tv mirably qualified. There ifl no reason in tl world why tho great bulk [of what is knov as offico work in the legal profession shou not bo performed by women, and of coun whatever enlarges woman's opportunities < earning an honest living, without detractir from her natural position iu gociety, must 1 lookod upon as a benefit to tho community i large. Mrs. Mansfield's husband was admit?* to practice at the same time ; and we presun the pair might make a very efficient firm tu der the title of " Mansfield and Husband," < " Mansfield and Wife," according to circun stances. We do not recommend them to op< separate offices, because they might happen 1 be engaged on opposite aides of the sarr cause, and ono of the two might have no be ter ground to go upon than Rbuse of the o] posite counsel?which would lead to unpleasai domestic consequences. Hut if Mrs. Mansfiel will mind the office while Mr. M. attends 1 the court.?, perhaps no two other lawyers i Iowa may be able to compete with them. We fear, however, that of tho women wlh aspire to be lawyers, comparatively few, eve inppoeJng they had husbands, would bo satif tied with such a division of labor. We fen there is a larking ambition among the fern: nine students of Chitty and IMackstone to h barristers rather than attorneys, and wo con less that the substitution of the chignon fo the horse-hair wig is not an attractive pro* poeta Think of the wife of your bosom, or til maiden of your dreams, bullying a witness in Crowded court-room, hectoiing tbfl judge, rant lag till ??lie is red in tho face about the suffer ings of the ill-us? <1 prisoner at, tho bar, flattei lag a stupitl jiry, \?siting the Tombe to coil suit with her eli??nt, the eminent housebrcake or the distinguished pickpocket, discussing i public the foul details of crime, and goin hone to the domestic fireside cross, weary, an hardened with the temper-trying lab?,rs of th day.

Slavery can no longer disturb the peace of the Episcopal or any other religious com? munion. Bit another discord, the germ ol which has boon in tin? Anglican Church ever since it severed, three hundred years ago, its connection with the Church of Koine, has of late MflOltted larger and larger ?limeiisioiis, and the opinion is lapidly gaining ground that the final IflMfl can only bfl a total and an irremediable split of the Church into tWO communions. The cause of the difference is primarily of a strictly theological ?haiacter. From tbfl time of its first separation fnun Home, in the sixteenth century there were in the Church of England two par? tis ratlically differing in their conception of the Ket'ormatioii. Tbfl one. ?laimiiiu' to bo the Catholic party, charged Lome with having grtulually latrodttOOd innovations unknown to the ancient Church, but regarded these innova? tions as a lesser deviation from the true standard of the Christian Church than the 1'iotestant Churches, which sprang up in consequence of the laspnlflflfl given by Luther ami Calvin. The other party professed to stand on snbstau tililly the same basis with all the religious do iioininations which are gl n? rally COt-P-iflfld andflt the uamo of Evangelical Lrotestantism. The contlict between tlu_# partlefl has never fully ceased; but MVOf OgfWfl has it to so high a degree pervaded the whole population con? necte?! with the Church. The breach widens, and the leaders of both parties push forward in divergent directions. Prominent men of the Catholic party, like Dr. l'usey, have endeavored to show that there is no real difference beta0011 tbfl ihirty-nine articles of the Church of England and tlirO doctrinal decrees of the Council of Trent ; and that the Church of England is sulmtuntially one in faith with the Roman Catholic Church and tho Eastern Churches. Many have declared themselves willing to acknowledge an honorary supremacy of the 1'ope over tho whole Church. Others have en? deavored to iutroduco an official intercourse with the Eastern Churches, and for this move? ment tho cooperation of both the English Con- j vocations and the ?\meiican General Conven? tion has been gained. The Ritualists, who have of late attracted so great attention, en? deavor to assimilate tho liturgy of the Church as much as possible to that of the Roman Catholic and Greek Commun ions. Monastic orders, even, and similar institutions, have been revived in considerable number by some I o? the bolder and inoro outliu*.!?*?'??' bsmbbKsrs of the party.

Christianity in all tho points which etparat? it from tho Roman Catholic and the Greek Churches. They would, if they could, put dr-*n by rigid legislation, all kinds of maaaatidaai and ritualism, and would cheerfully ootiperat? with tho Bible, Tract, aud other religious soci? eties of the Protestant world. Many of tin ? would even like to reviso tho liturgy of the Church, so as to remove from it all that may seem to favor tho views of their opponent* and to fix forever its truly Protestant ohm The latest notable event in the conflict wtg the General Conference of Eow Church niinu ters and laymen at Chicago, i he proeoodfc which were given in Tdk Ti:n:irgg a few days ago. In England tho organization of the two parties has long been completed. The < ' Conference insures its completion in the United States. In England, the struggle is not with out a gravo political significance; for the .his. tocracy more and more casts its entire intlu ence iu favor of tlie High Church party, ?md seeks a political as well as an ecclesiastic.I ,1 lianco with the aristocratic ami conservative elements in the Catholic Church. In the Uaftod States the political significance of the contro? versy consists only in the probability tint, m caso of a disruption of tho Church, the Catholic section would gravitate toward, at least, an alliance with the Roman Catholic civilization, while the Protcntant section would hasten to identify itself moro fully with fat? es tan ism. ________________ The New Constitution of our State, fran.i fl by the Convention of 1867, is Ix-ing advcitis, ,| preliminary to the action of tho People then on at our ensuing State Election.
