MENT-THE M'ARDLE CASE IN THE SUPREME COURT. WASHINGTON, January 31.-IN THE HOUSE, Mr. Elliott presented a bill ooutinuing the Freedmen's Bureau. The resolutions of the Ohio Legislature, withdrawing the assent of that State to the forrteeuth article (Constitutional Amendment), were presented, and the Judiciary Committee were ordered to report on the law question in? volved. The conference report on the Cotton tax waa adopted. It abolishes' the tax after 1867, and the duty on imported cotton after November 1, 1868, by a vote of 104 to 43. After some further unimportant business the House adjourned. IN THE SENATE, Ohio's withdrawal of her as? sent to the Constitutional Amendment created a sensation. Mr. Johnson agreed with others that the assent of the State could not be with? drawn. The consideration of the Reconstruction bill was resumed, after which the Senate ad? journed. The indications decidedly point to the con? clusion that the bill forfeiting the lauds which were formally donated to Southern railroads will be tabled. It is stated that the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is adverse to an immedi? ate report on the Supreme Court bill. In the Supreme Court, in the case ex porte McCardle, a motion was made to dismiss it on the ground-1. Of want of jurisdiction. 2. The appeal is from the judgment of the United States Circuit Court, in a case of original juris? diction, and not from a cue in which the Cir? cuit Court held appellate jurisdiction only. 3. The Circuit Court, which issued the habeas corpus, had no jurisdiction of the case. The argument will be continued on Friday. The Reconstruction Convention?. NORTH CAROLINA. RALEIGH, January 31_Majority and minori? ty reports on the suffrage question were pre? sented.

The reporter of the Carolinian was expelled from the hall by the President for the use of ? the tenn * nigger " in his report. The convention, by a tesc'vote, laid Mr. Dur? ham's resolution in favor of a general amnesty on the table. The convention then adjourned. GEORG:*. ATLANTA, January 81.-Thc Bul of Bights was completed to-day by the convention, and the subject of relief debated to the hour of ad? journment.

CONVENTION rnr.T) BY AUTHORITY OF THE REGONSTBUCTION LAWS OF CONGBES8, TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION FOR 80UTH CAROLINA. The proceedings of the convention yesterday were devoid of interest. Emptiness of pocket evidently affected the deliberative element, and at an early hour the body adjourned. Two or three facetious resolutions were offered, md several distinct smiles rippled over the "sea of human faces" as the reward thereof. Beyond all question, the mon most prolific in resolutions, frightfully long and terribly re? constructive, is Simeon Corley, of Lexington. Lake the machine poetry invented by the im? mortal Dow, Jr., bc bas only to turn a crank ind language flows from him in an unbroken strip, which ho cuts off by the foot or yard to suit the occasion. Attention is called to some af bis fragments yesterday. Resolutions, in /he oyo of a roporter, are like pie crust, they mould be "short" to be good. "Short as pie :rust" is an aphorism, which applies with equal j j bree to pastry, resolutions and proverbs. ; 1 The rumors on tho street that any trouble j ( jccurred in the convention, in consequence of i j -he presence of the police, are without foun- . lation. Nevertheless the well-meant offices of j General Clitz, in tendering a civil guard, were lot-judging from the language and manner >f delegates- received lu a corresponding spi? lt, and the police are left to enjoy their iuno :ent reflections outside the ball. To-day members will be paid off, and great viii be the rejoicing thereat. Eleven dollars a lay! Gee WhillikensI! PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. FIFTEENTH DAT. The convention assembled at twelve o'clock. Prayer by Vf. E. Johnston (colored), of Sumter. The roll was called and journal read. THE PROPOSED DISTBTCT OF SUMNER. J. M. Rutland, of Fairfield, made a report rom the Legislative Committee on the resolu? tion with reference to the organization of a ju Ucial district from portions of Edgofield, 3arnwell and Orangeburg, recommending tbat be subject be left to the future action of the l?gislature, the committee having incorpora ed in the constitution a clause providing for ill such cases. The report was adopted. THE MILITARY AND THE CONVENTION. The President stated that he bad a personal onference with General Canby last night, and I fl ras satisfied, fro a his statement, that the ob- | c ect in Bonding a police force to the convention ras "to protect rather than to take any super- I v ision of the body." Ho, the President, bad | t tad no conversation with General Clitz, but his morning was met by a sergeant of police h ritb a squad of men outside the hall. The S ergeant informed bim that he was ordered by C layor Gaillard to report to the President of he Convention for orders, bat as the mattel ras in the hands of the convention, be bad de? sired action. THE SOUTH CAROLINA VOCABULARY. T. J. Coghlan (white), of Sumter, offered th? allowing : Whereas, The prosperity of States, like tha ; S f families, depends on the harmony existing j mong its members, and the precepts of tr uti i nd religion teach us to do unto others as the .- l' hould da mit'? ns. And, Wiereas, Our newly enfranchised citi ens have displayed their good sense and strong ?ve of country, by a cordial and unassuming ^-operation with the rest of their fellow-oiti- j c JUS, in promoting the true interests of our be- ^ .ved .State and glorious Republic, be it Resolved, That this convention take such ac on as it may in its wisdom deem comp atibi 3 I a i th its powers, and conducive to the publia | it eal. to expunge forever from the vocabulary cf outh Carolina the epithets "negro," "nigger," nd "Yankee," as used in an opprobiousBensn, hat the exigencies and improved civilization f the times demand that this convention, c r be legislative body created by it, enact such i tvs as will make it a penal offence to use tbe hove epithets, in the manner described, agaiont * ny American citizens of this State, and to pun- f sb the insult by fine or imprisonment. \ Referred to the Committee on Miscellaneous f ?rovieions of the Constitution. _ r PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND OFFICERS. 8 B. F. Randolph (colored), offered the folio fr? ag, which was also referred to the Committ se n Miscellaneous Provisions, ?fcc: c Resolved, L That such institutions as tl ie e )eaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum, the Lunatic t isylum, and for the benefit ol the poor, shall v ie fostered and supported by the State, and ni- 1 rays be subi ect to such regulations as the Ge n- 1; ral Assembly may direct t 2.

That the Governor shall have power to lill {j 11 vacancies that may occur in the offices r loresaid, until the next ensuing session of trae ?j General ?Assembly, or until a successor sh ill ?o choson and qualified. CONFEDERATE BONDS VS. GUARDIANS. 5. Corley (white), of Lexington, offered the (allowing, which waa referred to the Commit-1 r oe on the Judiciary: Whereas, The rebel legislature of Sot th 1 karolina did authorize guardians to invest the unds of their several warda in Confederate * >onds; and wJiereas, the present provisional F government fully endorses the justice and le- a ;ality of tho said act, by the operation of vhich many innocent and helpless orpheus lave lost thoir entire estates, and tho slid } xmds are now being tendered by guardians in -j icu of United States currency in sottlomenl; of t inch claims; therefore ? Resolved. That in the opinion of this con- t rention ali legislation authorizing tho tender \ >f Confederate bonds by guardians in settling be claims of their wards, ls' a monstrous vrong, contrary to the constitution cud laws >f tho United States, and thereforo null tind f .oid; and that all parties concerned are now c n precisely the same legal relations as though ? io such legislation had been enacted; and hat the Committeo on the Judiciary bi di- i ? ected to prepare an ordinance which will each all cases of this oom plicated swindle, .nd determine whether any guardian, who bas f old propertv and invested the proceeds du- ] ing tue rebellion, shall be entitled to any fa- < or on that particular ground. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. S. Corley of Lexington, offered the folio* ing < fbich was referred to the Judiciary Com- 1 oittee: Whet eas. The people of South Carolina nave , tow the advantages of a penitentiary Bjntem ? br the punishment of crime, and whereat. the ; state is now iu a condition to protect the lives, j ?roperty, and beat interests of every clasB of its ?pulation, and whereas there is no imper.itive iemand for capital punishment, when sooietv ?an protect itself against the depravity and vio ence of the lawless, therefore, Resolved, That it bo referred, to the Legisla- < ive Committee to determine whether or not | j 'ollowing or similar clauses shall be incor )ora ;ed iu the constitution of the State, to wit : That no violation of the laws ot tho State shall ac deemed a capital offence. That imprison- I . nent for life shall bo substituted for the death penalty, aud tt.at for a less offence than m?r? ier, tho period of incarceration shall be gradua? ted to accord with tho moral progress ol the criminal, conforming to the provjaion3 of a trholesome prison discipline. ADJOURNMENT TILL MONDAY. J. M. Rutland stated that it was im pert ant that the several committees should lwo an apportunity of completing their laborn and presenting the result for the action of tho con? tention, and consequently would move that when the convention adjourn it be to moet on Monday next, at 12 o'clock. The motion was agreed to. TAXES IN TOWNS AND CITIES. N. G. Parker, of Barnwell, offered the fallow? ing resolution, which was referred to the com? mittee ou Miscellaneous Provisions of the Con? stitution : Resolved, That it shall be the duty of the General Assembly, in tho organization of cities and incorporated townB. lo provide that tboy bhall be restricted in their powers of tissesu mcnt and taxation. UNIVERSAL CHASITY ON THE SAMP AGE. A. C. Richmond (white), of Berkeley, offered the following resolution : Whereas, Several of the members of the body consider it desirable to offer numer? ous and divers resolutions, apprehend? ing, possibly, that the voice of the people may be heard, asking why all the delegates do not offer resolutions for the good of tho people-that the homeless shall have homes, the houseless houses, the landless lands, the moneyless money, that debtors shall be debtors no more, Confederate serin no scrip, and everybody free from sin, therefore, be it Resolved, That of one blood were made all the nations of tho earth ; .that the poor shall always be with us ; that tho hungry will always need food, the naked clothing, the landless land, the homeless homos, and the moneyless money-in fine that future legislation shall be In tho interests of humanity, for justice and protection to tho poor and security to the rich. Timothy Hurley moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Spiritualism, but it was finally laid on the table. TEE PEE DIEU QUESTION CLINCHED. On motion of N. G. Parker The ordinance defining the pay and mileage it officers and members was taken up and Dr. L. B. Johnson, of Eickens, and Lemuel Booaer, of Lexington, desired their names to De entered on the journal as voting against it. The motion was made to reconsider, and lay .he motion to reconsider on the table, which ?evonte the subject from being taken up again. THE PAY OP THE PBDTTEB. N. G. Parker moved that tho printer bo paid veekly. in order to enable him to proceed Drompjly with the work. 0. P. Leslie suggested, as an amendment, ' after this week." The first thing the conven ?ion knew, at the rate they were goiDg on, they-i vould be out of funds. [Laughter.] The amendment was not agreed to, and the natter was left to the Chairman of the Finance Committee. FEOSI GENERAL GLITZ. B. F. Whit to m ore from the special commit eo appointed to confer with Brig. General jhtz reported that that officer stated that by irder ot' Major General Can by, he requested he Mayor of the city yesterday to furnish a lergeant and five policemen that they might be n attendance at the hall, and ready for any irder from the President. . That they were lent here for the purpose of pi eventing an oe :urrence similar to that which took place upon he floor the othor day. between a member of j his convention and a representative of the tress of this city. Tho General also remarked hat the sergeant had no instructions to come ipon the floor of the hall, but was to remain lutside ready to respond to any call. F. J. Moses, Jr., moved that "tho explanation >f General Clitz, as conveyed by the committee, te received as satisfactory." The President stated that four or five police? men were down stairs, and the convention ould taire such action as thoy Baw fit. B. F. Whittemoro moved that they remain r here they wero ordered to romain-outside of he d ior of the convention. A member announced that General Canby ad received $12,000 from the Treasurer of the tate, and N. G. Parker then stated thal the tourn?t vee on Finance would be prepared to pay up." The oonvention thon, about half-past one 'clock, adjourned until Monday. teverdy Johnson on Reconstruction The speech of Hon. Reverdy Johnson in the onato on Monday last, in reply to Senators Turnbull and Morton, was reluctantly a-unit? ed by many of tho Radicals present to be a omplote refutation of the arguments so tri mphantly advanced by tho two latter in favor f the constitutional authority of Congress to any out its present reconstruction policy, fever before has Mr. Johns jn, who geoerally ommands the undivided attention of the Sen? te, been listened to with more attention, and : was oonceded on all hands that he outdid him slf in the massive and thorough production hioh be delivered. In the course of his speech, Mr. Johnson aid: When the constitution was framed the thir aen States which composed tho Uniou wore cknowledged by themselves and by each other o possess a republican form of government, n most of them slavery existed, in many of hem a property qualification of suffrage was equisite, and in none of them did universal uurage exist. Did any of the men who ap tended their names to that instrument, think hat the day would ever come when, under that laus 3 to guarantee a repu oh can lorm of gov rnmeat, Congress would assume to take from be States the right to regulate the suffrage rithin their own limits ? So far from this, Mr. ladison, in his celebrated letters, had cxproBS v declared that the true meaning and intent of his clause was to preserve tho governments of he States as they then were. After asking for the reading of tho remarks f Mr. Madison on this point, Mr. Johnson ontinued: It was plainly evident that the moaning of he mon of that day was to protect and dotfend be States, not to confer upon Congress tho tower to interfere with them; sod so far as his nowledge extended, it had never botore boon iretended that under that clause Congress ind the power to make a constitution for a Ute. After referring to tho existing State Govern ao?t of Maryland, which ho declarod to bo ightfully in power under tho constitution and aws, Mr. Johnson said : The constitution provided that no bills of at ainder and ex-post facto laws should bo lassed. Rebellions had existed the world over nd bills of attainder had been passed. Tho nen who mails the constitution knew this, and mbued with the truo spirit of liberty and re inblicanism, had prohibited such legislation. ?here was another thing which did not escapo hem. Tho guillotines of tho old world bail teen busy m punishing political offences, and o prevent Buch scones in this country they iad resolved that treason should only consist n levying war against the United States, or .dhoring to tho enemies of tho same; and tgain, realizing the danger to be apprehended rom military power, they provide.! that no iitizen not in the military or naval service ihould be tried but by tho civil process before k jury of his countrymen. The rights of the srivate citizen wero thus to bc protected rqualiy in war as in peace. What was tho bill now lying on their table riving absolute power to the Goneral-in-Chief? 3e recognized tho groat services of that officer, ho debt of gratitude owed to him by the coun ;ry, but where he Washingt tn himself, he (Mr. r.) would not grant such power to him; the ?owor to disregard all roguiromonts of the Institution, to imprison; to execute-the slacing above any responsibility. The next question which ho should pro jound was, "Aro not theso communities States?" From the beginning of the war, in 1861, up to this moment he bad held that thoy lever for one moment ceased to exist na States, md such was the view taken originally uv all branches of the government. At that time the idea that the United States, exerting its con rtitutional powers to preserve tho States of the Union, could exert that same power to destroy them, waa never dreamed of. Ho know that there were those around him who, thourrh dis? claiming any such idea then, held it now. It was not for bim to account for the change. Mr. Johnson hore sont to thc doek and asked for tho reading of an opinion of Chief Justice Chase on a case pending in tho State of Noitli Carolina, and delivered at a sitting of the Cir? cuit Court of that State, where it is charged that the ordinance of secession affected in no way the relations of North Carolina as a State; did not for cnn moment change her status as a State. Here wc have the hoad of the judiciary of the United States deciding that the rights of North Carolina as a Slate have in no wiso been impaired; that during thc rebelliou the relations of tho State to tho Union were sus? pended, but at its termination the relations wsr6 renewed, and became as obligatory as be? fore; yet Oongross assumes that North Caroli? na is remanded to a territorial condition, and is proceeding to deal with her on this assump? tion. The docision of the Sjiprcme Court rela? tive to trial by military commissions was also quoted by Mr. Johnson. Tho war being at an ond, no man can bo tried for treason, or any other offence, oxcept in the mode and manner prescribed by the constitution. Such had been the opinion of the Chief Justice, as pro? nounced in tho above case. In the vocabulary of the constitution there was no such word as nocessity. Now, wheu no hostile foot treads a foot of the country, when those who strayed away are desirous and Willing to return to their allegiance, they are met, under tho plea of necessity that under Borne clause in the constitution we have the right to treat them as rebels : that while we exact all the obligations of the constituci?n, we deny all its guarantees, deny all private rights-that there is one constitution for them and' another constitution for us. As he had proclaimed over and over again, he was' in favor, when the war was over, of granting a general amnesty, and he firmly believed that had such a policy been adopted, ve would have had perfect peace and harmony row. Many of the prominent journals which supported the Republican party were clamoring for a change of policy, and condemning the action of Con? gress as mischievous and hurtful to the best interests of the noun try. Bus is esa was pros? trated all over the country,'labor was at a standstill, and nothing but di'trust reigned. Bring back the South, prove that this legisla? tion is not intended to subserre party ends, and then we will have peace: then we will have that harmony for which thousands and thousands of tongues pray on every Sunday Co-operative Stones. The economy of the co-operative system is illustrated by some statistics in the Pall Mall Gazette, contributed by a correspondent, who compares the prices charged by his grocer with those of the "Civil Servie* Co-operative Store:" Our Grocer. 0. S. Store. ? s. d. ? s.d. 1 cwt. of soda.OH 0 0 8 0 B ounces of nutmegs.0 6 0 0 1 8 1 pint Lazenby's Harvey's sanee.0 SO Ole 1 pint Burgess' essence of an? chovies.0 3 0 0 - 6 1 pint capers.0 3 0 0 . * 7 pounds Genoa macearon!. ..0 9 4 0 4 1 ounces pistachio kernels....0 2 0 Oil S pounds curra . ta.0 38 0 1 9 1 ounces cloves.0 1 6 0 0 4 Bottle fine oil.0 3 0 0 2 0 J pounds Carolina rioe.0 3 6 0 2 8 L ream kitchen paper.0 12 0 0 7 6 ?3 3 4 ?1 13 6 The capital of this co-operative store was (25,000, in shares of $25 each, of vhioh only $5 lave been paid up. The resulto from this nodest beginning are visible in tie foregoing able, and similar effects might be produced by ?be multiplication of such enterprises in this iountry. We have from time to time piblished facts iud statistics about the origin arri progress of he co-operative movement in England and the ?ontinent of Europe, and have eioonraged the ?stablishment of similar stores here. Since hen there has come upon us roch a perfect itagnation of business, and an almost nnprece lented financial depression, that much of what re said then on the subject is not applicable it the present moment. The scarcity of money md the consequent surplus of stock in the , lands of wholesale and retail merchants' has 1 rreatly reduced prices-in many oases much ?slow cost. Aside from this being no time for mtried experiments of a financial character, here is at this time no reason for entering tpon such an enterprise. It is a fact, which any one may easily varify, hat goods of abriost every description ran be turchased cheaper now in the retail stores han they could be sold at by a new firm that rould have to buy at regular markat rates. Vhcn commercial and financial afairs shall ince more come to a normal state, we topo some of our Charleston frietds will give he co-operative system a fair trial; but at iresent our judgment dictates inaction in that Unction. The paragraph from the lal! Mall Gazette, rhich beads this article, is calculated to m is 9ad. From a close examination we havo eason to belie vo that tho wrter intended thus o deceivo his readers. The prices of the sev? rai articles named are given it wholesale rates a tho case of tho co-operat ve store, and at etail rates "from our grocer." This is unfair. Lny grocer will sell a keg of seda at market ates, and these, especially in a "dose" article ike soda, never permit of a margit of sixty-six ?er cent. Grocers, of all merchants, as known to uake the smallest profits. In nany of tho eading articles, as sugar, coffee, rice, corn, ?tc, they often have great dficulty to get heir money back. Thoro is considerable loss n weight and measure; and a very small fall in he market prie sometimes intolves a loss on he merchant greater than the whole amount )f tho profit realized by the mailing of the irticlo. i hese casualties and vicissitudes all exist in he case of men who take care ol their own in ?rests, and use the utmost hdustry, vigi ance, prudence and economy ii the manage neut of their affairs. It may oe that in the nultitude of counsel there is lafety-that a itanding committeo of ten can mperintend a grocery business to more advartago than can >o done by oue mau. It is moro democratic it all events, and directly contravening the >ne-mnn-power. But the fact o.' tho superior? ly of tho domocratic principli has not yet )een established; and all wo wish to effeot by hose remarks is to admonisi our friends bat this is a bad time to try tao experimont. A TEHBTBLE CASUALTY-Two P: USONS DBOWN ?D.-Rev. Samuel Leard, writhg from Rock lill, S. C., under date of tho 20th ultimo, to he Southern Christian Advocate, gives a har owing account of a sad accident, by which two lersons lost their livos. Brother J. M. Ciino, of tho South Carolina ^onferenco received an appoiniment to South Charlotte circuit, and on his return home here, rom Conference, lound his Uttle daughter inna still in bod from a brokan limb. This ietained him some three weels, until on the .5th inst., having made all his arrangements. ie sent his wifo and younger ?hilaren by rail o Morrow's Turn Out, on the Charlotte Rail 'oad, and took his daughter Anna and a ser? rant with him in a buggy, an* proceeded to oin his wito and other childnn at Pineville, !iorth Carolina. Ho roached a ford on Stoolo'a 3reok a little ofter night, and jidging that the ireeK nii?$ht be full, ho procojded cautiously to reconnoiter thu ford; and having satisfied limBolf that it wa3 not impassible, drovo into t; but, niissiug his way a litilo, he suddenly bund himself, child, servant aud mule, sub? merged, ho doos not know io what dopth. Being washed out of his seat, Ms first impulse tvaa to clutch his drowning ckUd and servant, jue under each arm-and they likewise clung to him with a death grasp. How long he was under the water he does ont know, but long enough to lose conscious? ness. Providentially he was drifted to the foot log, and involuntarily clung to that with ono liaud, and hoing lifted but of tho water, bis consciousness returned just in time to hear tho voico of his little daughter, about twenty yards below him, crying out, "Oh pa ! Oh pa I Oh pa I" and tuen all was silent as death. After somo time, and with great difficulty, ho drew himself on the log, and reaching tho shore, ho ran up and down calling in vain for little Anna. His cries were heard by some porson living not far away, and they came to his aid. Ali farther search heine; useless, they helped him forward, without hat-drenched to the skin in a state of mind bordering on despair, to the houso ot a friend, whero hewas cared for, and a mossengor dispatched to Pineville to com municato the sad intelligence to sister Cline. Tho bodies were searched for and found tho following day, and brought to this placo for interment. -As an evidence of hard times in Mississip? pi, tho Aberdeen Examiner says that on the occasion of a rccont dramatic entertainment, seventeen planters applied for permission to appear on the stage, declaring that, though they had no talent in that line, they had not maile enough from their crops to purchase tickets, and wero anxious to work their way through as part of tho show. The 0,acen's New Book, LIFE HT THE HIGHLANDS-GOING TO KERK-THE QUEEN'S PARADISE-A TBXP INOOONTTO-JOHN BROWN-ROYALTY TN UNDRESS. Not long since Queen Victoria took a step which was without precedent in tho history of royalty in England, by publishing the first vol? ume of a biography of the late Prince Consort. The reception of thia book-not only by the English people, but eyen by foreign nations could not but be entirely satisfactory to the royal authoress, and has, perhaps, proved an encouragement to her to follow up her first work by another. The new work which has just made its appearance is entitled "Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands, from 1848 to 1861; to which is prefixed and added Extracts from the same Journal, giving an account of Earlier Visits to Scotland, and Tours in England and Ireland, and Yachting Excursions." The London papers appear to be charmed with it. The Star Bays : "This new volume gives us a perfect picture of the happiness of her Majesty's wedded hie, the simplicity of her tastes, her domesticity, her genial kindness, and, above all, her firm, constant reliance upon her husband. It is ex? actly what its title represents it to be-ex? tracts irom a journal, the writer of which could not have dreamed, when she made the eatrios, that they would ever come to be read by millions of interested people. Tho work of editing has been done most admirably by Mr. Arthur Helps. Tho arrangement is extremely good. Mr. Helps has writton a preface, with? out which the volume would scarcely be com? plete, foi it not only tells us bow the diary carno to be published, but says some other bin ,'H which it is quite as well the people re whom the Queen reigns should know." ^ho book is dedicated, "To the dear memory 01 im who made the life of the writer bright inn. 'ppy, these simple records are lovingly ?nd, itofully inscribed." It ie not made up rf continuous narratives, except in two or three instances, but simply consists of extracts Crom her Majesty's journal. It is divided into three parts, respectively headed "Earlier Visita to Scotland," "Life in the Highlands, 1848 1861," and "Tours in England and Ireland, and i'achting Excursions." The volume relates almost entirely to the Queen's experience of life in the Highlands of Scotland. The Queen was delighted with the ELighlanders, and chose from among them her most trusted attendants. She says in one part yt her journal: "All the Highlanders are so unusing, and really pleasant and instructive lo talk to-women as well as men-and the lat? ter so gentlemanlike." In another passage she )bserves: "We were always in the habit of con? versing with the Highlanders, with whom one :omes so much in contact in the Highlands, rhe Prince highly appreciated the good broed ng, simplicity and intelligence which made it io pleasant, and even instructive, to talk to nem." From among the Highlanders the Queen1 mose some of her most trusted servants. She bus speaks of Mr. John Brown, now an upper servant and her permanent personal attendant, ibout whom there has been so much scandal. "The same who, in 1858, Lecame my regular kt tendant out of doors everywhere in tue Highl? ands, who commmeuced as gillie in 1849, and vas selected by Albert and me to go with my arnage." When in Scotland, tho royal family, to the mmense mortification of the High Church' inglicans, was accustomed to attend service in he established Presbyterian Kirk of Scotland. Ibo thus speaks of tbe Presbyterian servioe londucted by one of her chaplains : "October 29,1867.--We went to the kirk as isual at 10 o'clock. The service was performed iy the Bev. Norman McLeod, of Glasgow, son if Dr. McLeod, and anything finer I nover leard. The sermon, entirely extempore, waa [uite admii able; so simple, and yet so eloquent, .nd so beautifully argued and put. The text ras from the account of the coming of Nicode nus to Christ by night: St. John, chap. 8. Mr. icLeod showed" in tbe sermon how we ali tried o please self, and live for that, and in so doing ound no rest. Christ bad come not only to lie for us, but to show us how we were to live. ?he second prayer was very touching; bis ail li? ions to ns were so simple, saying, after bis asntion of us, 'bleus thea* children.' It gave ne a lump in my throat, as also when be pray d for 'the dying, the wounded, the widows and he orphans.' Everyone came back delighted; nd how satisfactory it is to come back from burch with such feelings I The servants and he Highlanders, all, were equally delighted." Tho Queen became very fond of her house n the Highlands, and thus wrote of it about a iozen years ago. "October 13, 1856-Every year my heart be omes moro fixed in this dear Paradise, and so ouch more so now that all bas become my learest Albert's own creation, own work, own wilding, own laying out, as at Osborne; and lis great taste,'and the impress of his dear land, has boen stamped everywhere. He was ?orv busy to-day, settling and arranging many kings for next year." On returning to England, ebo greatly missed he Highlands, and thus gave vent to her fecl ngs: "Thc English coast appeared terribly flat, jord Aberdeen was quite touched when I told lim I was so attached to the dear, dear Higb anda, and missed tho fine hills so much, [boro is a great peculiarity about tho High andi and Highlanders; ana they are such a ibivalrous, fine, active people. Our stay ,mong them was so delightful, indepondent y of tho beautiful sconory, thero was a quiet, : retirement, a wildness, a liborty, and a soli udc that had such a chat m for us." The following ia tho Quocn's account of one if the incidents ol' tho&e expeditions in which ho travelled incog : "A few seconds brought us over to tho road, ?here thoro were two shabby vehicles, ono a Lind of baroathe, into which Albert and I got, indy Churchill nnd Oenoral Groy into tho ither-a broak; each with a pair of email and atber miserable horses, driven by a man from ho box. Grant was ou our carriage, and Jrowu on the other. Wu had gone so far forty niles, nt leust iwoniy on horseback. Wo had lecided to call ourselves 'Lord and Lady Chur? la ill and party,' Lady Churchill passing as Hiss Spencer, "and iicneral Grey as Dr. Grey, bown once forgot thia, and called mo 'Your klaiesty,' as I was golting into tho carriage: ind Grant, on the box, once called Albert Your Boyal Highness,' which set us off laugh ng, but no one observed it. "We had a long three hours' drive; it was lix o'clock when we got into the carriage. We vere soon out ol the wood, and came upon the ?odenoch road-passing close by Kinrara, but, infortunately, not passing through it, wbiob wo ought to have done. It was very beauti? ful-fino wooded billa, and Bon Muich Dhui, iie high Cairngorm, ufortuuately much ob jcuroii by tho mist on the top, and the broad 3pay flowing in the valley, with cultivated fields ind fine trees below. Most striking, however, an our wholo long journoy was the utter, and to me very refreshing solitude. Hardly a hab? itation! and hardly meeting a BOUII it grad? ually grew dark. We stopped at a small naif way house for the horses to take some water; and tho few people about stared vacantly at tbe two simple vehicles. "The mountains gradually disappeared; the evening was mild, with a few drops of rain. Un and on we wont, till at length wo saw lights, and drove through a long and straggling 'toun,' and turned down a small court to the door of tho inn. Hero we got out quickly, Lady Churchill and General Grey not waiting for us. We went up a small staircase, and were shown to our bedroom at the top of it very small.but clean-with a largo four-post bed, which nearly rilled the wholo room. Op? posite was tho drawing and dining-room in one-verp tidy aod well-sized. Thon came the room where Albert dressed, which was very small. Thc two maids (Jane Shackle was with me) had driven over by another road, in a wagonette, Stewart driving them. Made our? selves 'clean and tidy,' and then sat down to dinner. Grant and Brown were to have waited on us, but were 'bashful' und did not. A ring lotted woman did everything, and when dinner was over removed tho cloth and placed a bottle of wino (our own, whi^h we had brought) on the table, with tho ?lasses-which WUB the old English fashion. After dinner I tried to write part of this account, but the talking around me confused me. while Albert played 'pa? tience.' Thou went away, to begin undress inp, and it waa about Iii when we got to bed." "Wednesday, Sept. 5.-A misty, rainy morn? ing. Had not slept very soundly. We got up rather early, and sat working and reading in the drawing-room till the breakfast was ready, fer which we had to wait for some little time. Good tea and bread and butter, and some excel? lera porridge. Jana Shackle (who was very useful and attentive) said they had all supped together-namely, the two maids, and Grant. Brown, Stewart and Walker (who was stall there), and were ve:-y merry in the commer? cial room. The people were very amusing about us. The woman came in while they were at their dinner, and said to Grant, Dr. Grey wants you,' which nearly upset the gravi? ty of all the others. Then they told Jane, 'Your lady gives no trouble ;' and Grant in the morning called up to Jane, 'Does his lordship want me ?' One could look on the street, which is a very long wide ime, with detached houses, from our window. .'Lt was perfectly cjuiet, no one stirring, except here and there a man driving a cart, or a boy going along on his arrana. Gen. Grey bought himself a watch in ? shop for ?2." Specie I i Mists. JO-ORPHAN HOUSE CHAPEL. - THE Kev. WM. B.
