From Messrs Taylor A Maury we hav J
'An Appeal tot be People iu behalf of their Rights
as Authorized Interpreters of the Bible.*' By
Catharine E Beeoher; published by the Harpers I
In this somewhat remarkable book Mi?s Beecher I
urges that the time hns come for the people of this I
country t-? exercise their inborn rights and submit I
the teachings of theology to the tribunal of reason. I
Her batteries are mainly brought to bear upon the J
popular or rather priestly doctrine of original sin. I
which she maintains is the cause of the couten- I
tious and ill-blood among Christians, and which
doctrine she alleges is being rejected by the
people everywhere. The book will attract attention
from its revolutionary character, and as affording
another specimen of Beecher-familykinkine>?. I

Mr Spencer, the United States Consul in I
Paris, last month gave a magnificent reception to I
about four hundred Americans now sojourning in I

- A Washington correspondent thus speaks I
of Mr Sickles' appearance in the House :?There I
1s a general stir among the fairer portion of the 1
audience as Mr. Sickles saunters quietly in, a I
slender figure. cttir-.d with such Parisian fault- I
lessness of taste that he has acquired the name cf I
the best drtssed man in the House. Dark brown I
hair, brushed smoothly away from his white I
broad forehead; full beard and moustache, and a I
handsome face, all but the tyr*?oh' such singular I
looking eyes ' As long at his hack is turned he I
seems an Adonis; but the eyes spoils all His I
usual style of dress?one that makes him the envy I
of every dandy on Pennsylvania avenue for its I

down to the small, shiney boots. His hands are I
encased in perfectly fitting kid gloves of same I
dsrk color, which be constantly wears, even in I
his seat This habit has given rise to a super- J
stitious rumor, that they are worn to conceal the I
dtep blood stains which be fancies are still crim- I
soning his hands He lounges In a sort of non- I
cbalant way upon his seat, seldom accosted by his
fellow-memlKTS, and apparently quite unaware
that he is the centre for hundreds oi curious eyes. I

Milton S. Latham, on the 10th, the night after I
his inauguration as governor, was nominated in
eaucus for United States Senator, and the day following
was elected to thatctltce by the legislature I

Mr. Latham's ncminatiou in caucus was on the I
first l>a11ot after his name was introduced as a I
candidate The use of his name took Weller's I
adherents by surprise, and was quite unexpected I
to the public at lirge. His success is attributed I
to the determination on the part'<ff the democracy I
t? rid itself of the dynasties which have hithert > I
governed to a great extent the politics of the state. I
The new Senator will start for Washington by I
the steamer of the 5th of February. j
Lieutenant Governor Downey, by this change. I
becomes Governor for the ensuing two years, and I
will be inaugurated on the Nth. He is but little

man rather than a politician. He is a native of I
Ireland, and came to California from Maryland. j
Mr. fjiMnn, who has been elected President pm J

There is a suspicion that before the winter I
passes tbe election of a Senator to succeed Mr. I
Gwin will be brought on.
There are indications that Judge Baldwin will I
be the Senator, and that Eugene Casserly will be j
appointed judge, in place of Baldwin, on the j
supreme beneb, by Governor Downey. .
Governor Latham has appointed Johnson Price I
Secretary of State, and George Wallace, Private
Secretary. They were confirmed by the Senate, j
.and will be retained by the new Governor. j
Gov Latham sent a special m? ssage to the Sen- I
ate in relation to the six southern counties of Cali- I
fornia, on their proposed separation from the State 1
and an organization under a Territorial govern- I
meut. The Governor says that a two-thirds vote J
Is required to an act authorizing the separation, I
before it can be passed. No further action than I
tiiis, be says, is necessary on the part of the State I
to consummate this purpose. He doubts not that I
tie aggregate sentiment of the State is opposed to I
he decision, and considers it proper that Congress I
decide whether the opinion of tne people of the |
proposed Territory ought to be accepted as a cou- I
elusion The authori/ation of Congress, however. I
be suggested, would bo required to perfect the I
separation *

their future conduct in such matters This was

A Foolish Story?The press generally is just t
now airing a story originating in the Washington <
correspondence of the New Vork Time s. to the effect ^
that it hat l>een determined among the Republt- ^
can-party member* of Congress and other leading ]
Republican politicians, that Mr. Seward is virtu- '>
ally to decline their nomination for the Presidency <
in favor of Mr. Bates, contenting himself until *
iPtit with the mission to England; and that Mr. '
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, ii to be the candidate <
for Vice President on their ticket; and, further. <
that Mr. John W. Forney it the engineer through 1
whose management of his new political friends
the wangement has been consummated, to the ]
entir^satisfaction of everybody, including Mr. 8
Seward himself.
Now, we have to say that there is not a scintilla
of truth in this wonder of the hour. It is clear to
all in W ashington who take the trouble of in- J
forming themselves with reference to what J
passes among the politicians surrounding them, I J
that Senator Seward means to be the Republican- I ,
party nominee for the Presidency, if he can. And, I ,
further, that the chances are twenty to one that he
can be; insomuch as nlnsteen-twentieths of the I
rank and file of his party are for his nomination? I !
the other twentieth, composed as it is of small <
Republican-party politicians, being divided up I i
(in their preferences) into half a dozen little I
cliques, each attached to the coat-tall of some I l
would-be rival of Senator Seward, in the hope of
eventual greater profit to themselves by the nomi- I
nation of the person for whom he acts as a sort of I 1
striker. I
That Mr. Forney has a scheme for setting aside I
Mr. S?ward is probably true, as he mav never I
hope to achieve much personal Influence over one I
of the experience In public affairs of Mr. Seward. I'
But the idea that because the Republican party I
saw tit to payhiui for his services with the Clerk- I
ship, therefore he is installed into the position of
their Warwick "right off the handle." is simply a "
ridiculous one. While having r.s little faith in I
that party as any*other of Its uncompromising I ;
opponents, we ar? very sure that the success of i
Mr. Forney's scheme of the treachery of the anti- I i
Lecomptonites to the Democracy has not so bereft I I
them of their >enses as to induce them to set him i
up, installter, as the arbiter of the fate of their indi- ;
vidual leaders of longest service In their cause.
The truth is, Mr. Reward is the Republican I
party's life and soul. It takes all its ideas and J
principles as he la\s them down for it. Being its 1
only great representative man, as well as its :
creator, for it to abandon him at the dictation of I 1
Mr. Forney, would be for it to throw away three I '
fourths of its popular strength, to acconuuodate
that gentleman. His nomination will doubtless ,
drive from the Republican ticket thousands of ,
Union-party opposition men. But to Ignore his
claims to its support in the approaching contest. I
will ?s surely drive from supporting lt> tlckef. I
tens of thousands for every thousand who will I
refuse to support him as its nominee. These facts I I
are so well understood by all well-informed poli- I '
ticians. as to render the nomination of Mr. Seward I 1
by the Chicago Convention as certain as that that I
convention will meet.
This story about Forney's setting aside Seward I J
for Bates, on the whole, is about on a par with the I
stories periodically sent from Washington to the I
New ork Times, Cincinnati Kmiuirer, Chicago I 1
Times, et ul.. representing the --lire eaters of the I
South'' as rapidly caving in for Douglas for the I
Charleston convention nomination. This Is a I 1
world of humbug in which we live just now; and I '
in nothing else Is it so much in vogueat the present I s
writing, as in tibbinglnthe newspapers concern- I !
ing the prospects of this or thatcurrent aspirant for I .
the Presidency. I j
I
Tin Chesapeake axd Ohio Caxai. ?In a very I '
recent report to that body, the Attorney General of J
the State of Virginia lias advised the Virginia J ;
Legislature to make that State a party with the I I
preferred bond holders to a suit for the transfer of I 1
the future management of the affairs of theCliesa- I J
peuke and Ohio Canal Company to their hands i
ts p' r a clause in the charter, or their agreement I *
with the company, which works such a forfeiture !
in case of the failure of the work, through mis- I !
management, ^ ti??- I i
interest on the bonds. I j
That such a right in vested in the bond-holders 1
in such a contingency. Is as clear as that the work j
has been managed for years past by Maryland's 1
Public Works' Commissioners only to subserve I <
two ends. First; to prevent it from competing with 1
tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad by doing a pay- I \
ing freighting business; and, next, as a sort of (
hospital for decayed or hungry small politicans of |
the party (political) controlling the Public Works' 1
Board for the time being. As managed under I
under such auspices, we care not which party Is in | c
power, not only the State of Virginia, that now
holds more than a million of its liabilities, but
corporations and thousa nds of Individ uals who also I
hold them in some shape or other, are robbed mcst I
flagrantly and shamelessly.
Such management of a trust by an Individual j
as that of the canal's affairs by Maryland?for the I t
State is responsible in this case?would cause the I t
individual to be hooted out of society as an un- I *
blushing swindler. The injured parties, among
whom are all the people of the District of Colum- I
bia. as well as all the holders of Chesapeake and I \
Ohio Canal stock and bonds, it strikes us, may no I e
longer hope that the Legislature of Maryland can *
be persuaded to act honestly In the premises I c
Their remedy, If any there be, lies only in the i
successful prosecution of the suit at law referred r
to above?the end of which will be anxiously a
awaited here, as at length affording some hope I '
that the canal will eventually make good some i:
of its original promises to those whose honestly ?
earned money is locked upon it. I

The Agkicultcial Birkat.?We perceive 1 r
that it has been determined to divorce the Agri- I t
cultural Bureau of the Interior Department from 1
its late connection with the Patent Office?a sensible
move, for which Secretary Thompson de t
serves the thanks of the country. Its connection
with the Patent Bureau never was legitimate, and r
always was a source of embarrassment to both, j C
The new head of the bureau. Mr. Clem son, we j r
regard as being better titled to make it of sub ?
stautlal value to the country at large than any 4
other gentleman we know of. First, because he "
is entirely above and beyond the reach of sinister I s
influences in his conduct of the trust. Next, be- s
cause he is one of the best informed scientific ag- ?
rlculturists. ^nd one of the most experienced
practical farmers io the land, and a person of great t
industry, intelligence and energy of character; J r
and, lastly, because be is impelled to undertake ?
the labor only through the ardor cf his devotion J ^
to the cause of American agricultural progress I c

No Changes So Far.?Neither the new Doorkeeper
nor the new Postmaster of the House have
w> far changed any of their subordinates They
probably delay wielding the axe for a day or two,
until they can so arrange the "victims'' as to strike
off every head at a single blow. Poor consolation,
indeed, for those about to bleed ; though perhaps
poorer for the so much greater multitude who
must fall to obtain places under those officers;
the number of applicants being perhaps forty for
every place they have to bestow.
Thi House Committees.?It is understood that
Speaker Pennington is arranging the standing
committees of the House under the supervisory
advice of two or three Republican-party leaders
Mr. Sherman at their head. Various opposition
members are doing their best to secure committee
places to suit each his own fancy or ambition.
Thev will find their labor thrown away, unlets
their hopes meet the sanction of the committee referred
to above.
Thk Baltimore Patriot ?It is understood
that Mr. Frcnch S. Evans. one of the publishers
Df the Baltimore Patriot, is to be appointed to
the principal clerkship under the Sergeant-atArmsof

Republican partyism of late characterizing that
journal. So the world wags.

Trial of Hazlett.
?
Charlestown, Va , Feb. 6.?The court opened
his morning at 10 o'clock, and in a few minutes
he trial of Hazlett was commenced. A panel of
wenty-f.iur persons from Frederick county made
heir apj>earance. as it had been found impossible
0 obtain jurors from this county.
Before the prisoner was brought out Mr. Hunter
tnnounced that he would be tried on the murder
:ount in the indictment. Messrs (ireen and Botts
vere in attendance as counsel for the defence, in
iccordance with the request of the prisoner. Beore
the prisoner was called upon to plead to the
ndictment, Mr Green asked permission to tile a
lemurer. At this stage of the proceedings attachnents
were issued against several irnj>or ant witiesses,
who had faiied to respond to the ?ubp<pnas,
tnd a body of cavalry were immediately disnaL hd
to Harper's Ferry to force their attendance
1 lie indictment was then read, occupying several
ninutes. during which the prisoner stood up with
ecming inditl'erence.
Mr (ireen then stated in brief the grounds of
lis demurer, which the Judge ordered to be reorded.
The prisoner then pleaded " not guilty" to the
ndictment. The calling of the panel then proeeded.
Mr. Green stated that they did not consent to the
ummoning of the jury from Frederick county,
mt objected to it entirely. Judge Kenny stated
hat it was the opinion of "the officers that a jury
ould not be had from Jtff'erson county, and
herefore he overruled the objection.
Sheriff Campbell here made a statement that he
vas convinced that a jury could not be obtained
n this county, and therefore took the necessary
t?P? to procure a jury from Frediri k county.
The sheriff and hfs deputies were then sworn,
md testilied that they had exhausted their district
vith the former jurors in these trials.
Mr. Hunter movtd that the sheriff be directed
o summon another panel from this county, in orler
that no d'-liy be occasioned in this case on
iccount of objections to the present panel bv the
ounscl for the defense.
Judge Kenny overruled the objection, and the
vork of empaunelling a jury was rtsurned by the
udge pvitting the usual questions to ea< h juror
rhe panel was exhausted when twenty had ??een
elected as competent jurors, leaving four still to
>e chosen. Additional talesmen were then sumuoued
from this county, but only two could be
ibtiiined The proceedings were consequently
irought to a halt, and at 1 o'clock the court adourned
until tc-mcrrow morniug, to enable the
heriff to summon additional talesmen from FredTit
k county.

The Associated Press dispatch says:
W ashington, Feb. (5 ?Mr. Glosbrenner himself

nin of ?403.000 has betn paid them since Wedlesday

rhe reason assigned for the House adjourning

The discussion was continued until a late hour,

House.?The queation being taken on the
amendment to the second section of the Post Office
bill, it was agreed to without a division.
The question recurred on the proposition to

Mr J Cochrane, of N. Y., claimed the right,
under the rules, notwithstanding the previous
question, to perfect tue section before the vote 011
striking it out, and moved to amend it by including
those contractors who have furnished

The amendment was ruled out of order

D~/"One of the humanitarian movements of the
times although little known as such, can hardlv
be over-estimated in its importance upon the well
being of our widely scattered communities. The
population of the American States is in many sect
ons so sparse, that skilful physicians are hardly
available to them. Vast numbers of our people,
are obliged to employ in sickness, such medical
relief as they can hear of from each other, or indeed
any they can get from any quarter. Hence
arise* the great consumption of patent medicines
among us, greater by far than in any of the old
countries, where skilful physicians are accessible
to all classes Unprincipled men have long
availed themselves of this necessity, to palm off
their worthless nostrums, until the word has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat
One of our leading chemists in the East, Doctor
Ayer, is pursuing a course which defeats this iniquity.
He brings not only his own but the best
s?ci!l of our times to bear, for the production of the
l?est remedies which can be made. TLese are supplied
to the world in a convenient form, at low
prices, and the i*ople will no more buy poor
medicinet instead of good, at the same cost, than
they will bran instead of Hour. The inevitable
consequence of this is, that the vile compounds
that llocd our country are discarded for those
which honestly accomplish the end in view
which cure. Do wc over estimate its importance,
in believing that this prosDeet of supplanting the
by-word medicines, with those actual worth and
virtue, is fraught with immense consequence for
good, to the masses of our people.?Gatttte and

the flames that the building and contents were
enti rely destroyed, nothi nif being left this morning

exertions of the firemen of our two cities was
saved. It has not been ascertained how the Are
