J Bad, in many respects, as was the public ca y, recr of the late Edwin M. Stanton, his private elia r ^?jeter ls said to have displayed many redeeming ""^traits, rarely met with among thc "great men"' of - our day. The New York Sun, whose managing edi? tor was the assistant Secretary or War during thc incumbency of Mr. Stanton, gives some Interes? ting statements and reminiscences in regard to the deceased Secretary. The Sun says: IMPOVERISHED BY TUE WAK. When Mr. Stanton went into the Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln his law practice was worth $20,000 per annum. He was six years Secretary of War, and In all that time tic spent his salary aud drew upon his private fortune so largely that when, about two years ago, he left the department, he found his property all gone but his dwelling, and for thc last two years he has had to resort to his profes? sion to secure the mcaus to live. THE SECRETARY rS FRI DE. i He was too sensitive to let any one kuow his : circumstances, and toiled when lie should have rested and recuperated. Two weeks ago he made tn argument before Justice Sway nc, nut the lat - ter pronoun ced' one of the ii n e.-1 and ablest he ever heard lu his Ufe. Ile would not take a ease . without caruing his fee, and did not charge one third thc value of his services. IA mouth ago he was sent a handsome retainer in the case of thc State or Pennsylvania vs. the Credit Mobilier, lie --.wrote to Louis Hal!, who represented the state or Pennsylvania, and asked him as a personal favor to let the ease rest until he had time to prepare himself to be heard ror the Credit Mobilier; that lie had o-ily just been employed, and Ne would not go Into court with any case untu he under? stood lt in all its bearing*. Hall wrote refusing any delay. The trial must come on* on thc ensu? ing Monday. Then Stanton returned thc fee, and he wrote that he could not do thc compauy jus? tice on so short a notice for preparation. He needed that money, needed lt badly, too, but he could not keep it, because he could not fed that he could carn it on so short a notice. REFC3AL OF $100,000. Few persons outside the circle o? Mr. Stanton's - lii?si intimate friends are aware of the fact that a ', proposition was made, soon after his retirement .(rom office, to give him a purse of $100,000. This ?roject was conceived by some wealthy mer . fhants at a private dinner party in this city, and . thc full amount was raised on thc spot. The next question was how to induce Mr. Stantou to ac? cept the gift. Judge Plerrcpont was deputed to t execute thc delicate mission. He accordingly ,' went to'Washiugton. He first broached the sub? ject to Mrs. Stanton, who replied that she did not . believe her husband would accept the present. Mrs. Stanton said that she would mention it to - him on the first favorable opportunity. Mr. stan? ton was In tho next room, ai d probably over? heard the conversation. Judge Plerrcpont then went In to see him. He was sitting as au luvalld in his arm chair. "He received me," said Judge Pierrepoint, "with bis old klud smile, and although very feeble, made an attempt to rise to shake hands. 1 con? versed with him on different subjects, but I did not make allusion to our projector presenting him a purse. Finally 1 arose to take my leave. I was just about to open thc door, when he said: " 'Pierrepont, come back; I have something to say to you.' " "1 returned. Having taken a seat by his sido, tar gently laid his haud upon my shoulder, and, looking rae straight lu the race, reellugly said: "1 have always rcgarued you as my friend, Pierrepont. Yon a - : going away now, and I may never see you again. I am, as you see. upon a bed of sickness, from which 1 may never rise. I want you to do me a favor. When you go back to*NcwYork, tell my friends'there* and else? where not to raise auy money or other girts for me, fori must reruse them all. They have my thanks for their kind intcntloz s, but 1 eau never and will never accept a cent ta a gilt from even my best friend." "I promised to comply with his request," con? tinued Mr. Pierrepont. "and tua result was that the project was abandoned." ZVXURF IX WA8UIXGTOX.

THE COVSVIL OJC ROME. Formal Opening ci the CKcinucnkul Council - Religious Ceremonies mid Accompanying Incidents-Thc Inau? gural 'I'.iocu'.ion. [Home ; December Correspondence of Hie Lou? don Kew*.] It muet bc admitted that, weak AS is thc temporal power of Hie l'ope, uo other Prince could have assembled Bach a body UK-met yes? terday in thc council hall o? St. Peter's, and no oilier could have provided them with such a magnificent temple. There arc twenty-two bishops from Ireland, alon; sixteen from Eng? land, and no fewer than uliy-two from the United States of America. Altogether there arc but sixty-three dioceses in the United States, and lour ol' these are vacant, soi hat it may, wi'Tioct much exaggeration, be Kald that thc whole Unman Catholic Episcopacy of the United States have obeyed the Pope's man? date. The Canadian, and other colonial bishops, have also come over in great numbers. How many have come from Australia, I a in not able to say. France and spiiin have contributed largely, but thc Italian bishops, of whom liiere arc 300. form the majority of the members of the Council. Night before lasi the City was illuminated, and everything gave promise of an auspicious morn? ing when the Homans went to bed. When they awoke, however, which they did at thc early hour of live or soon after, rain was falling in torrents. The streets were some of them Hooded, und a pas? sage to St. Peter's was all but impracticable by some routes except by carriages, which were in immense demand. The bishops were to meet at 8:30 o'clock in a meeting hull, where they wert) to robe and form in procession, entering by thc great door beneath the portico, lt was ucarty, ir not quite. 9:30, however, before the procession moved. Thc tact wa.? announced by the discharge of caunon from thc Castle of St. Angelo. A tile of priests in their albs iormed the llrst line. These, 1 apprehend, were the clergy connected with the church. At some distance behind these was a line of Papal Zouaves ; aud then the geiie ralpublie. The strains of the hymn, " Vcni, Cre? ator Spiritus," announced that the head of thc procession had entered the church, and the Pon? tifical Crucilix, preceded by the singers and the Pope's prelates in their appropriate robes, wa3 seen in thc distance. Then followed the Abbots, Bishops, Archbishops, Primates, Patri? archs and Cardinals, the Senator, with ihc Con? servators of Rome, thc Vice-Chamberlain, and then thc Pope himself, followed by thc Generals of the Congregations and regular urders. and the officials of thc Council. Thu members of the Council walked in pairs, having on each Bide a clergyman, who may bc regarded as their asses? sors or theologians. 1 think the procession occu? pied about aa hoar, or near it. For thc most part, the bishops, Ac, were dressed lu white watcredj si.'k, with a gold frlogc, but lu some half-dozen cases the shade was varied by blue or pink, or an intermixture of dur?rent colors. It was in the case of the Eastern bishops that the color seemed to be varied. They pre? sented the most various types. Some were men of commanding presence, tall, handsome, and prepossessing. Others, on the contrary, were so diminutive that they could scarcely be recog? nized, in thc procession. Most were without beards, but a few, and they also, seemed to be from thc East, wore hairy appendages of enor? mous proportions, I should say that seven-tenths had their hair silvered by years. On thc whole, they seemed a venerable and thoughtful body of men. The Pope himself looked thc same benign, kind and affable man which lils photographs rep? resent. Some knelt while he was passing. The hymn, "VenI, Creator Spiritus," was sung at In? tervals during the procession. The mst verse and the conclusion were omitted till thc Pope came to the chief altar, on which the Sacrament was exposed. ftELIOtOt'B CK11EJIONIE9. The religious ceremony preceding thc opening of the Council now began, ills Holiness Having invoked the protection of God and thc presence or the Holy Spirit, offered a prayer. The members of the Council then proceeded to thc Council Hall, and occupied their respective seats-his Holiness making confesi?n to the Cardinal-Deacon of thc Jiu!v College, who was to celebrate the mass of bhe'Immuculate Conception, willi Hie additluu ot thc prayer "De Sancto scrlptu." When the mass proper was over, thc sermon having been deliv? ered, not at the usual time, but near thc end of the ceremony, the Pope took his scat, and was dressed in the Pontitlcal vestments, as though he were about to say mass. The members ol thc Council then, one by one, each carrying his mitre lu his hand, made their obeisance; the cardinals kissing the Pope's hand, thc patriarchs, prcli bisuops and bishops his right knee, and thc ab? bots uisfoot. Iiis Holiness then rising,-while all tiie othere knelt down, made another prayer, to which thc prelates answered '.amen." Aller thc chautlng of the Litany and some other prayers, in which the presence aud aid of the Holy .spirit were asked for, the prefect of the cercan, .iles cried out iii a loud vbtce. "Exeunt omncs locum non Tiabentes in ConcilW-that is to say, "Let all who have uo i Ight to be here retire." / T?R Pr.KL?MISART KEETIN?. / Il ls not at all surprislug arter thc fatigue ur yesterday that this should be a com parai i ve day of rest. When it is staled ttiat most or the fath? ers rose aB early as o o'clock yesterday morning, that they had to say mass, to prepare lor the preliminary meeting, to attend thelon? re'lglous service that preceded t;c opening ol thc Couueil, and that thc Council did not break rp til! about 3 o'clock, and wheu U is n-JUc? til t many of thc bishops arc very old, and some very inhrm, thc interposition of a day ol rest was almost Indis? pensable. The meeting of yesterday was, as I conjectured, one of form. The only questions submitted to the rathcrs were whether the coun? cil should bc declared to be now opened, or whether that declaration should be postponed till thc Epiphany. A translation or thc allocution which thc Pope addressed to the Council Ls as fol lows. 1 understand that at some parts or lt thc Ton tiff was moved even to tears: TUE ALLOCUTION. venerc'M Brethren-What we asked of God by many supplications aud prayers-that we may be aide to inaugurate the Oecumenical Conn- I ell appointed by us-this has been granted, to our great joy, by thc remarkable and singular grace of God. Our heart, therefore, exults in the Lord, aud is suffused with ?unconceivable consolation, because on this most auspicious anniversary of Hie festival of thc Immaculate Conception or thc Virgin Mary, Mother of God, you who have been called to participate In our solicitude have assem? bled in greater numbers than formerly In this citadel of thc Catholic religion, and wc thorough? ly rejoice in your presence. Kow, venerable brethren, you are assembled herc in the name or Christ, that with us you may bear testimony to the Word of God and JCSUB Christ; thai you mav teach thc way cf God in truth to all men with us', and that you moy judge with us, nuder thc guid? ance t>f tho Holy Ghost, of thc opposition ot sci? ence, falsely so called. For If ever there was a limo when zeal for the Ut vine glory and the salva? tion o? thc Lord's flock demuuded of us to sur surronnd and defend Zion, lt is now. For von see, venerable brethren, with what violence thc old enemy of the human race has attacked, aud still attacks, the House ofGod. Under his guid? ance that wicked conspiracy of the impious ls widely diffused. Strong In union, powerful in wealth, protected by institutions, and wearing the liberal veil of malice, and full of weakness, u does not cease its most bitter war against the sa? cred Church of Christ. You know thc nature or that war-its power, its arms, its progress, Hs councils. You ?ave continually before your eyes the trouble an 1 confusion, thc grievous perversion ol all right, the various artauf bohl lying and corruption by which Ute wholesome bonds of jus? tice, iutcgrity and authority ar.: loosened, the worst passions are Inflamed, thc Christian raith rooted out from souls, so that the end of God's Church might well be reared now, int Were possi? bleTorit tb bc destroyed by any machinations or endeavors or man. But, as st.* John Chrysostom said, "Nothing ls mon; powerful than thc Church -the Church is stronger than Heaven itself." "Heaven and cari!1, sin:! pass sway, but my words ebal! uot pass." V. hat words I " "Thou ari Peter, ti1.id on this rock Bitall i build my chinch, and the gates or hell shall not prevail against it."

A Washington letter to tbo Baltimore <?a zette says: Last week Mr. Cullom, of Illinois, in a speech levelled at the unrighteous predominance of Kew England in tho councils of Hie nation, Inno ccntly ( lough alluded to the fact, that thc six New Euglund Slates, with II population less, by haifa million, than that of New York, iiuatirelve senators to her tiro, lr the honorable gentleman had taken n peep Into Hie Congressional Direc? tory, recently prepared by .Mr. ben Berley I'oore, he would have discovered tlial Yaukeedom has just precisely double that number. Twelve of them represent. Kew England confessedly, and twelve others (carpet-baggers) nominally repre? sent other States HI ilie Smith and West, but are uatives of, and really represent their "father? land'' on all Important questions. There are in the present Se?ale live natives of Massachusetts; six or Vermont: lour of Maine; four ol New Hamp? shire: three or Connecticut, and two nf Khodc Is? lam!. And it is a very suggestive fact, in con? trast with this exhibition, that not a solitary sen? ator from New England but is a native or that soil.

It is at the option ol the West and South now to diminish thc power of New Kngland In the Semite one-hair. This would be a good beginning in thc way of reform. Mr. Cullom's own State ls represented in thc Senate solely by carpet-baggers.

A Brutal Murder in York -- Homicide >^ near Camden. r Wc leam from the lorkvillc Kmjulrer that Abe Archer, colored, was murdered in thc yard of Mr. samuel G. Heaiphill, near Gntliiicsvllle, in this county, oo Monday night of last week, 20th lust. George Hemphill, colored, confesses that he is guilty or thc murder, has surrendered himself to thc sherill', md ls now in Jail. As soon as ap? prised of the fact, Corouer James II. Fayssoux, repaired to the place where the murder had been committed, aud aller summoning a jury, pro? ceeded to hold an Inquest, The witnesses exam? ined, from their own knowledge, threw but Utile light on thc altair, and the matter ls involved in some mystery. Thc statements made by the mur? derer to Mr. S. G. Hemphill arc to thc effect that Archer came to thc house where he (George Hemphill) was, when thc two commenced qnar rcliug in regard to a woman whom the latter claimed aa lils wife, when Archer seized a chair, aud struck thc latter with it. George Hemphill, I as soon as struck, retreated to where an axe was leaning against the wall, seized thc uxe and struck Archer several blows with it about thc head and lace. George, supposing that he had killed Arch? er, conveyed thc body about one-third or a mlle from thc "sceucor thc murder and concealed lt in the woods. On the body being examiued, the fact became evident that when il was deposited in thc woods, life was noi entirely extinct, as one or thc hands had clutched some of the leaves strewn on thc ground, and a billet of wood, lying near, was stained with blood. Thc jury returned a verdict that thc deceased was killed by George Hemphill. Thc Camden Journay says: "On Friday last, ar the plantation of Mr. L. ll. Stephenson, about eleven miles north of Camden, a colored woman, Hettie Mcltac by name, was shot by Moses Ste? vens, also colored, and died on Sunday morning from thc elTccm of the wound. A Jury or Inquest was summoned, und found thal the killing was accidental-that there was no shot in Hie gun, but that thc wad indicted thc fatal wound. The wound was a tearful cue, and the wad penetrated so far that thc woman vomited it up bet?re her death. From the evidence before the Inquest, it appears that Moses Stevens had been drinking, though not Intoxicated. This of ltseir was suffi? cient lo render him reckless and careless." I.A XI) SALES.

Does not reason tell us that judicious stimulation is re? quired ? To resort to violent purgation in such a case ls as absurd as it would bc to bleed a starv? ing man. Yet lt ls done ?very day, Yes, this stupid and unphllosophical practice is conlinncd In thc teeth of thc CHEAT FACT that physical weak? ness, with all thc nervous disturbances that ac? company it, is more certainly and rapidly relieved by IIOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS than by any other medicine at present known. Il is true that general debility is often attended with tor? pidity or irregularity of the bowels, and that this symptom must not be overlooked. But while thc discharge of thc waste matter of the system is expedited or regulated, Its vioon MCST IIB RE? CRUITED. The Bitters do both. They combine aperient and antl-blllousproperties, with extraor? dinary tonic power. Even while removing ob? structions from thc bowels, they tone and invigo? rate those organs. Through the stomach, upon which the great vegetable specific acts directly, it gives a healthy and permanent Impetus to every enfeebled function. Digestion is facilitated, the faltering circulation regulated, the blood, rein? forced with a new accession of thc alimentary principle, the nerves braced, and all the dormant powers of thc system roused into healthy action; not spasmodically, as would be the case if a mere stimulant were administered, bat for a contin? uance. It ls In this way that such extraordinary changes are wrought In the condition of thc fee? ble, emaciated and nervous Invalids by thc use of this wonderful corrective, alterative and tonic.

That any aiok utan survived the treatment of fifty years ago, na nat bc considered a proof that haman beings are vcay hard to kill. Tito lancet, ?alome!, cantharides and drastic pur? gatives were then the order of the day. The phy? sician played toto the hands of the apothecary, and the unfortunate patient vas drenched morn? ing, noon and night frith prostrating medicines. We live m a more rational and conscientious era. The tm portarme of supporting Nature in tts eonai ct with disease ls now understood. Complaints in themselves weakening are no longer aggravated by artificial depletion. They are met wi th TONICS that rally til vit?l powers and enable them to de? feat the enemy.

Therein no subsequent depression. It docs not, as ls the case with ali other stimuli, beget a craving for ex? citants.
