MUrrgcuatioii.
- Yesterday morning, the case of
Sergeant Peter W. Cary, of Company
G, Second Battalion United States
Infantry, recently arraigned on the
charge of marrying in this city a mu?
latto woman, named Henrietta John?
son, was again called up before the
Mayor. It will ho remembered that
the investigation, begun on Saturday
last, was adjourned over in order to
allow time to receive legal informa?
tion of the previous marriages of the
accused at the North-it having been
alleged that he already has two wives,
ono in Massachusetts and another in
Maine, (his native place.) Of the
witnesses present, only one of them
(Sergeant-Major John W. Coleman)
had anything to say.
The prisoner was called to tho I
stand, when Recorder Regnault, who j
was requested to sit on thc case, as
he had heard the first of it, inquired ;
whether the documents, to provea
case of bigamy, had beru received
from the North.
Sergeant Coleman replied that !
steps had been taken to obtain the!
affidavits of tho prisoner's previous j
marriage, but time had not yet elapsed '
for them to be received.
The Recorder replied that the pre?
sentation of affidavits was not suffi?
cient to prove a case of bigamy" It
was necessary to produce witnesses
who were present at the marriage.
He, however, thought that, as it waa
doubtful whether tho necessary evi?
dence to make out a case of bigamy
(which could be investigated aa well
at thc North as in Richmond) could
be obtained without a vast deal of
trouble, that charge might for thc
present be deferred. The prisoner
bau been guilty of outraging the
law of Virginia by marrying a negro
woi mn, and was consequently amen?
able to trial upon that offence. He
should, therefore, remand Cary for
indictment by the grand jury of tho
Hustings Court.
Succeeding thc decision in the case, I
St - ant Coleman inquired whether
the intermarriage of negroes with
whites was not legalized by the terms i
of the civil rights bill, recently piesa
ed by Congress? Whereupon the |
Recorder replied that the Common
wealth of Virginia had her laws ou j
the subject, and, as long as they re- !
mained-intaet, he could not conceive i
that the Federal laws had any bear- j
ing upon the matter. Subsequently,
Mayor Mayo stepped forward, and .
read from the Code of Virginia the
act willi reference to bigamy, setting!
forth the kind of evidence necessary !
to make ont a plea of that character.
This was his only object, he said, in
reading the law.
Cary was then committed to jail in
default of security, to await an indict?
ment. -Richmond Times, 28///.

BB?AKEBS AHEAD.-Tira National
Intelligencer, cf the 29th, says:
With but one-half of the country,
the prestige of the Union cannot be
maintained. The continued aliena?
tion of the staple-producing States,
and their- subjection to?.arbitrary
power and plunder, begin to shake
confidence, m the stability cf the
Government. The next Congress,
and indeed the. action of the. present
Congress at the next session, may in-,
volve the country mora deeply than
ever in the danger of a dissolution of
the reders! Government. Rebel
arms could not effect that object, but
radical usurpation may do it.
But it is to the next Presidential
election that men look with alarm
and distrust. Already we find that
prudent and considerate men, who
ara. not office-holders, ne? partici?
pants in the public plunder, which is
one of the chief bonds that hold to?
gether the radical Congress party, -
are becoming shy .of Government
securities, except-for temporary pur?
poses, and ave investing meir money
in real property, which may survive
'the shock of the public credit, and
the- failure of the Government pro?
mises to pay.
A collision at some time, either
before or soon after tho Presidential
election, between the Congress fac?
tion and the conservative power of
the people,' may be and is apprehend?
ed. The radical Congress cannot
much longer refuse, without hazard
te the public credit, to recognize the
Toyal State? of the South and the
loyal men whom they elect as their
representatives. There are many
ways in which difficulties might arise
which would render legislation nnoer
tain, and even stop the wheels of the
Government entirely, if, indeed, the
people are to tolerate and support
this usurping and tyrannical Con?
gress and theu ineasurea.

PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.-Tho
correspondent of the New York
Cummercial writes from Philadel?
phia:
"The Convention to be held here
in August, under the direction of
Messrs. Doolittle & Co., is regarded
with great disfavor here. The re?
turning soldiers and fire companies
freely and openly declare that they
intend to break up the gathering,
and a movement looking to that end
is now said to be on foot. There are
a large number of invalid and conva?
lescent soldiers still about the hospi?
tals here who affiliato to a consider?
able extent with the firemen, and
assert that they can prevent the hold?
ing of any such meeting, especially
as public sentiment is against it.
Any violence, however, will of course
be summarily headed off aud punish- ;
ed. Extensive pr?parations are
being made to tender a warm greet?
ing and welcome to those attending
the Southern Union Convention !
which meets in September."
NEW CitrsADE.-Wendell Phillips
calls on the clergy of the Noith to I
preach up another crusade against j
tho South. Wc should think, says
the Richmond Enquirer, these men
had sufficiently humbled their calling
already to be excused from further
profaning it. It is told of the late
Brazil Gordon, of Falmouth, for
many years a largo wheat buyer, that
he once received a load of grain from
an up-country farmer, with a letter
stating that the writer hail sent him
"a load of wheat a littl touched with
rye." After oxamiuing it, Mr. Gor?
don wrote in reply, that ho had re?
ceived "a load of rye a little touched
with wheat." The Northern clergy
commenced proclaiming to their
hearers, religion, a little touched
with politics, uutU they have ended
by preaching politics a little touched
with religion-and only a little touch?
ed with it. Phillips, who knows
them, calls upon them as if they were
so many campaign stump-speakers.

TH? FBBBTDSICT OK XBE FKNIAN Bs
SOLUTIONS.--The Intelligencer, in ila
"Notes from the Capitol," nuder date
of the 26th, saya: The message of tho
President, delivered to the House to?
day, in response to the two resolu?
tions in behalf of the Fenians, sent
to him yesterday, has rather takeu
the wind out ol the sails of the Con?
gressional party. Tho resolutions
Were simply intended as a bid for
Irish votes, by manifesting an extra?
ordinary interest in the fate of the
recent Fenian raiders upon the
border. It appears, from the re?
sponse of the Presidont, that the
suddenly-awakened anxiety of Con?
gress, in reference to these unfortu?
nate persons had long ago been an?
ticipated by the Executive, and that
the desired action in behelf of the
Fenian prisoners in Canada, und the
Fenians indicted in the United Stetes
Cotlrts for a breach of the neutrality
laws, had long since been taken,
without awaiting for the growth of
Congressional sympathy .iri their
favor. This purely electioneering ar?
tifice has, therefore, not only failed
in its design, but has served to bring
to the attention of the Fenians, who
are just now so assiduously courted
by the BevolutionistH, the fact that
the President hud promptly, and
without suggestions from Congress or
elsewhere, instituted proceeding? for
the rebel and release of all the par?
ticipators in the Fenian raid, who
had been placed in arrest, on either
side of the line.
SPECIMENS- OE "UN,U>TXTKRATED
PATRIOTISM."--The New York Post, j
speaking of the tariff bil), shows up !
tue positions of some of the authors 1
"as follows:
There is Mr. Stevens-he demand- j
ed -st higher duty on iron, whose !
object is lo raise the. price of that !
article; he is an iron master. There
is Mr. Griswold, who demanded a ?
heavier duty on railroad iron^whiclt j
would, of course, increase the price
of that commodity. Mr. Griswold is
a manufacturer at Troy, in this State,
of railroad iron. There is Mr. Mor?
rill, -who imposes higher duties on
foreign marble; Mr. Morrill, we are
told, is interested in marble quarries
in Vermont. There in Mr. Dodge,
of this city, of whom a correspond?
ent wrote the other day:
"On motion of Mr. Hodge, ten per
cent, ad valorem was added to tho
duty on iron wire. On motion of
Mr. Dodge, the duty on crinoline
wire was increased from seven to ten
cents per pound. Is be the Mr.
Dodge, of the firm of Phelps, Dodge
& Co., who aie said to be largely in?
terested (or some of the members of
the firm are) in wire works in Con?
necticut and Massachusetts?"
These are only examples. They
do not exhaust the list of members
in the present Congress who se qm to
think that they aro in Washington
for the purpose of filling their own
or their frieuds' pockets.
It is whispered in Washington, <
says the Nashville Gazette, that the j
President is about to publish to the ?
world a lot of letters written to him ?
while he was Governor of Tennessee. ?
These letters will "show up" in no
enviable light a number of distin?
guished men in the North who are
just now opposing the policy of Mr.
Johnson. Mr. Sumner has had a
Ong private interview with the Presi
lent, for the purpose, so says rumor,
}f dissuading him from making pub?
ic these letters, for it is said that this
radical Senator is dee ply interested rn
lot having them brought before the
?yes of the public. The coi'respon
ient who gives the above gossip
hinks that something more definite
viii come to light in the course of a
seek or two.
A STATE DINNER-THE GUESTS.

ruests were present:

How MK. DAVIS PASSES HTS TIME.
Che latest news from Jefferson Davis
s given in the correspondence ot' the
Sew York Times: "by day, Mr.
Davis is at entire liberty, under pa
.ole, within the limits of the fortress,
nul generally spends the most of bis
imo in thc apartment of Ins wife,
vho has had one of tho casemates
assigned to her. Ho is at liberty to
receive any books or papers that any?
body choose to send him, and in pe?
rusing these and in conversations
?vith his wife, and with the numerous
visitors who aro constantly calling
apon him, h? prevents time from
?anging heavily upon his hands."
MERCHANTS' TAXES TO BE REFUND
3D.-The House of Representatives,
>n Thursday, passed a bill providing
bat when the License tax upon whole?
sale dealers shall be imposed upon
;he basis of sales of tho previous
[.ear, and it shall subsequently appear
;hat the sales for which such license
s imposed aro not equal in amount
o those of the previous year, the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue is
luthorized to refund the] excessive
imount of such license.
ANOTH ER F AT AX DUEL. - A' despatch
from Mobile, of the 19th, says: "T.
J. Chandler, this morning, at daylight,
fought a duel with L. Holcombe. At
the second lire Chandler received a
ball through the chest, living about
twenty-five miuutes. ^Holcombe was
formerly a ?soldier in the Federal
.irmy, and Chandler in the rebel
army. The. difficulty originated in
disputing whether Columbia, South
Carolina, was burned by Gan. Sher?
man's order, or by orders of Con?
federate Geu< rois."
A RADICAL YARN.-The Nashville
Press and Times gives the following
as part of the proeeedings-in Gallatin
on the 4th of Joly: "The flag was not
only torn down, but the blaspheming
and sacrilegious Union haters actually
tied one end of it to tte tail of a cow
and the other end of it to the tad of
a dog, and then drove them pell-mell
through the streets, while the sacred
symbol of tho country was dragged
through the dirt and trodden under
foot."
Of the losses by tho recent terrible
fire in Portland, the Press, of that
city, says that the first estimates wore
too low. It now states that 1,800
houses were destroyed, and- 3,000
families, embracing al least 12,000
?persons, rendered homeless, whilst
the value of tho property destroyed
may reach S lt?,000,000. The amount
of insurance, thus" far ascertained, is
$5,000,000.
ELECTION AT ST. Loris.-On tho

of 1,800 votes out of 5,000. The first

hitherto largely radical, went for the

majority.
AMVKTNO.-Mr. Skinner, a member
