THB Psoras TO THK RMOTE.-Th? Nev*
York ?Tourna/ o/ Commer?a ms calling upon!
the people to back up the Jpfouse of jkopre-j
sentatives, in opposing tho Setiule on tho j
tenure of office bill. It says:
"In this con teat between the House and
Senate, tua people, without respect of par?
ty, should make their voioe heard at publie
meeting?, in indignant protest against the
usurpations of the upper branch. Encou?
raged by such signs of ..copfidenco and sup?
port, tho House might force the Senate to
join in the repeal of this odious law-this
insult to the President and positivo injury
to the American piiople."
Tho New York Evening Post, a Republi?
can journal, is bemoaning the political pros?
pect It alleges that the politicians have
already triumphed over President (?rant,
who was "needlessly disheartened by the
obstacles which arose in the formation of
his Cabinet," and in proof of this, it cites
the appointment of Bontwell to tho Treasu?
ry and other appointments. It also thinks
the corruptidnists are already getting the
upper hand, and it reoites proof of the
charge.
"The Kow York Commercial thinks General
Grant's illness is caused by the worry and
fret from the tenure of.office imbroglio, and
tells him that the people of tho country are
with him in his view of the question.

M last tho news from Cuba would seem
to indicate something encouraging on the
part of the rebels. At tho recent battle
which took place botween tho towns of
Remedios and Moron, they wore evidently
auocessful. The most significant faot con?
nected therewith is, howover, tho desertion
sf four companies of volunteers, a precedent
iestined'in all probability to be rapidly fol?
lowed. The material composing these
*Tolunteor organizations is about one-half
Oubaivand it only needs tho demonstration
of a fair possibility of success for them to
unite with tho insurgents against a power
they intuitively detest. Tho fact that
several American expeditions have already
landed on the island has, no doubt, tended
greatly to afford such encouragement, and
os they aro all well-armed and disciplined,
their general defection must greatly in
ttuenco. if not decide, the issue of the Con?
gest.
A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE IRON-CLAD OATH
In tho United States Senate, on Monday,
Mr. Sawyer, of South Carolina, introduced
a bill, which was referred to the Judiciary
Committee, prescribing an oath to bo taken
by persons who participated in the rebel?
lion, but are not disqualified from holding
office by the fourteenth amendment. It
enacts that instead of tho <ath prescribed
by Act of June 2, 1862, they shall take that
of Aot July ll, 1868. The latter oath is as
follows:
"I,-, do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will support and defend the Consti?
tution of the United States against all ene
.raies, foreign and domestic; that I will boar
true faith nud allegiance to the same; that
I take this obligation freely, without any
mental reservation or purpose of ovasion,
and that I will well and faithfully discharge
the duties of tho office on which I am about
to enter. So help me God."

A majority of them were young and healthy

of thom, and in most cases the emigrants
had come to this country under tho auspices
of some of the Southern emigrant compa?

SAILING PACKETS TO LIVERPOOL, NEW

steam and fast freight lines, tho solid ad?

are opportunities overlooked. The mer?
chant orders his heavy bales of osnaburgs
or bagging by the same expensive lightning
express as his India muslin and fahey
goods; and the fanner whisks off his cotton
as he does his fruits and vegetables. The
fact is, that both would save a great deal ol
money by employing sailing vessels foi
heavy nnd durable articles, when prices
aro not too fluctuating. Messrs. Wm.
Roach & Co., of Charleston, whoso card ap?

VKIIOCIPBDES. -The velocipede mania is
spreading. It must have its run like auj
other fevor. It may become chronic, thougl
some wiso hoads aro predicting a speedy
crisis and collapse; or perhaps tho oollapsi
is to come before the crisis, or they may bi
simultaneous! Just nt prosont, however
tho inventive genius of this country, a
least, seems to be concentrated upon th
construction of velocipedes of every nove
style. If announcements muy be credited
there is-or is going to be, which amount
to the same thing iu this fast age-a mono
cycle, which eau be driven sixty miles ai
hour; a bicycle, warranted to run 100 mile
au hour on a single rail of a railroad track
and probably tricycles and quartercycles, o
indefinite speed. Tho machines aro gri

even to lanterns and lunch-boxes! Nobod
foels terrified, even when such acoidenl
occur as did recently in Cincinnati, when
young man, taking a velocipede lesson i
the fourth story of a building, lost tho coi
trol of his machine, and was precipitate
through a guarded hatchway to the celh
beneath. Such an occurrence only incite
story-makers to circulate reports that in ce
tain cities the velocipedes are driveu .?
fast that every collision results in the toti
disappearance of both rider and machin
No fragments aro ever found! An adve:
turer of Providence announces that iu tl
month of June next he will propol a vel

of 3,000 miles in thirty days, uveruging ll
miles per day. A grund velocipede toum

of the Prospect Park Driving Associatio
of Brooklyn. It is expected that tho rac
will create a great excitement. Some w
deficient in thc gonius necessary to inven

the hoax was very successful with tin
who were unfamiliar with that ancient n

is, secreted by its functions, and expelled
through its pores. The Bkin is one of the
chief outlets for the expulsion of the hu?
mors or elements that the absorbent vessels
reject, to nourish and sustain tho blood;
hence, these irritant humors poison the
delicate skin, and we have Pimples, Blotch?
es, Sores, either simple or malignant, ac?
cording to the condition of the perspiration
and humors secreted by the skiu. Now,
tho application of cosmetics only hide these
defects, .md increase the irritant condition
of tho skin. Use Heinitah's Queen's De?

for these disorders. M24
A GOOD JOKE ON A RAILROAD CONDUCTOR.
As Professor Cushman, the acknowledged
champion Horse Tamer and Animal Educa?
tor, (who is now traveling through the State
of South Carolina,) was passing over one of
the railroads last week, being very warm in
tho car, the Professor tried to raise the win?
dow but could not succeed, so he called the
assistance of the Conductor, who also failed.
But P. jfessor C. had conquered too many
vicious horses and ferocious animals to let
himself be conquered by a car window, so
he took his cnue aud broka out the window.
Says thc Conductor, "Those lights cost the
company one dollar apiece, and you must
pay the bill." The Professor politely hand?
ed him a two dollar bill. The Conductor
could not make the change, but said "I will
rrive it to you as 60on us we arrive at the
depot." "Pray, sir," says the Professor,
"do not put yourself to any trouble, I will
take another window-light for the remaining
dollar," at the fame time using his cane to
suit his words. Mr. Conduetor says, "Well,
sir, you are too much for the wild horses,
and a little too much for me."
