Ao Mioir. A lkttek written by Judah P. Benjamin, the Confederate Secre tary of "War, in relation to the recent speculation in the bonds of that defunct government, sets com pletely at rest the report hat at the close of the war money was on deposit in England to its ciedit. Ho says th9 suits entered by the United States against the brokers and, the financial agent of the Con federacy, which resulted in the rc .coveryjof aifexrf thousand dollars, proved,conclusively that no money remained J to "its credit. He also says that the United States Gov ernmenrreceivecl'supplies, ma chinery, several vessels, and, in fact, everything that remained from the wreck, and dons not be lieve that one penny is to be found in Europe to the credit of "The Lost Cause." This drives the last nail in the coffin of a promising m speculation,. and only goes to show upon what a slender thread com mercial enterprises as well as oternal thinus may hang. The wreck of the St. Louis Mu tual Life Association is ona of the most complete disasters in all the disastrous history of life insurance speculation. Its assets arc less than 10,000, all in litigation, and of doubtful colloi'tioti, while the policy claims allowed by the ref eree amount to over a million. 3h Co-operative societies and benev olent organizations have dealt life insurance business a blow f rom which it will hardlv recover. ' A singular case is reported from iJfew Jersev, where a woman who was indicted for bigamy, of fers in (Jefense-a notiee of her first husband's death, printed in a news paper. It came out in the. course of the trial that the notico was published for malicious purposes, and the Court is in a stale of dis traction, there being no piecedent to lorm a basis for judgement. IwESTr-osE years ago this month tho. southern states were scrambling' out of the Union as fast as they could. Now they are trying to dictate to the west what course of policy should be pursued; tho best of it is that they are sin cere, though the old idea of "domi nance dies hard. The present -trouble witli the i Democracy of Oregon seems to bo a difficulty in uscertaining just what Democratic) views are. Of course, this is a slight matter to differ upon, but m tt o absence of anything heavier it gives iue to gSnsiderable discussion. Whitl Worried llim. In an article on the spoils sys tom in the current number of the North American Review, Mr. Au drew D. White, President of Corn hill University, relates a fewjinec dotes pertinent to the subject. In the darkest hour of the civil war, the ppople of a thriving"- Northern town, c.illed for convenience, Pep perton, were agitated far more by thi question na to who should be appointed Postmaster than by the issue of some of the most import ant battles then being waged. Deputation after deputation rush ed to "Washington beseiging Con gressman, Senator and President, and while rivers of blood and bil lions of treasure were flowing away, a good Presbyterian deacon resolv ed to go himself to the capital and see if he could not settle the great national question of the Pepperton postoffice. lie was shocked at the careworn faceof President Lincoln, and, in hopes of consoling him, s dd: l,.Mr. Lincoln, I am sorry to see you not looking go well as when you passed through Pepper ton. You inus-t not let the rebel lion wear upon you. The Lord is with us. lie will not permit sla very and disunion to conquer. Ho has purposes with this Republic which " ''Oh, Judge," "inter rupted Mr. Lincoln, ''it isn't the rebellion .that is killing me it isn't the rebellion, it is yuur plagued Pepperton postofiice!" "Columns of argument," says Mr. White, "could not so well icveal the effect of the present system upon the Executive; but the fun becomes jinm earnest when one lecalls the late of Harrison and Garfield. An irou buoy, fitted with appar- ratu3 intended to convert the pow er of wave motion into electricity, which will, in turn, supply an elec tric light, has been anchored in the lower bay outside of New York harbor. That would be a good thing for the mouth of the Columbia. In the present quarrel in tho Republican party the sympathies of the great majority must bo with tho President in tho position that Blaine has forced him into. - JHSOELIANEOUS. HANSEN BRO'S.
