The physicians, on Tuesday night, expressed grave fears of his recovery. Beb tives have been summoned from Poughkeep? sie to his bed-side. WASHINGTON, March 28-Evening. On the 2Gth instant, which was the last day upon which claims ooald be filed before tho British and American Claims Commission, unless by permission, in each cuso for cause shown, a very largo number of memorials were presented. 421 British claims were filed ap to that dato-more than half of them being filed last week. At the session to-day, fifteen additional claims have been filed. It is thought that the number, including all claims on both sides, will amount to about 500. The American claims num? ber eighteen only. There were no deci? sions made to-day, and the Commission adjourned over until the Sd of next month. The office of the secretary will be ocoupied for some time in getting the olaims properly arranged and docketed, and the memorials printed. It is under? stood that the Commission will soon ad? journ until September, and that during that month the sessions will be held at Newport, B. I. Since the Commission was organized, eleven cases have been finally disposed of, out of which only one was favorable to tho claimant-that being the first case on tho docket. The amount of the award was $620. In the Senate, the Committee on Post Offices agreed to report a bill increasing the China mail subsidy to $1,000,000. . In the House, the bill for tho depot of the Baltimore and Potomao Bailroad, in Washington, aud tho Pennsylvania Cen? tral vs. the Baltimoro and Ohio Hoad, was np. Efforts at compromise, failing, the minority resorted to fillibustering, when the House adjourned to Monday, when, it is expected, the Pennsylvania Central will triumph by a two-thirds vote. In the Sonate, a bill Bottling certain land titles on tho boundary between Georgia and Florida passed. Tho tariff was up, and a vote will probably bo en? forced to-night. LATER.-The tariff bill is substantially settled, with freo tea and coffee. An amendment is now pending to abolish all internal tax except on whiskey, tobacco, &o. The Herald's Washington special on Louisiana offairs says, while Pinchback is making every effort for peace, some of tho members of the party are very reck? less in their doolarations, and the friends of Warmouth boast that they have more *' money patronage in Louisiana than the President bas throughout the United States. They name among this boasted patronage 200 offices, paying $10,000 a year, and fifty offices-tax collectors paying $12,000. They have the appoint? ment of registers and managers of elec? tions, and say that while they will not count fraudulent votes in their favor, they will not count fraudulent votes cast against them. The Attorney-General bas advised that tho sontenoe of twenty-nine Monroo County (Mississippi) prisoners, who pleaded guilty to Ku Kluxism, bo sus? pended. A Treasury circular, issued to-day, re? vokes tho previous order legarding fog horns. Tho masters of sailing vessels may uso any horn producing a sound equal to a steam whistle. Tho President vetoed tho bill for tho relief of John L. Shanks, of New Or leann. The grounds ot tho veto aio that the m o novo taken from 'tho State bank at New Orleans in 1862 were ac? counted for to the Secretary of tho Trea? sury, and a Hst of the depositors filed in that department, and the name of Dr. Jphn Li. Shanks does not appear among them. Probabilities-The barometer will con? tinue falling on Friday over tho South? ern States, with partially olcudy but pleasant weathor, except probably over tho Western Gulf States, and rising tem? perature. South-easterly to South-west? erly winds, with partially cloudy wea? ther, will prevail over the Now England and Middle States, oxoept probably ?loDg the lower lake region. Partly cloudy and possibly threatening weathor will prevail North of tho Ohio Valley, with light and fresh variable winds. Dangerous winds aro not anticipated fer the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. CINCINNATI, March 28.-The Com? mittee of Arrangements for thc May Convention, to meet in this city, have issued a circular inviting voters, without distinction of party, to join in sustain? ing the Constitution as it is, and in se? curing a oivil sorvioo reform, a tariff for revenue only, geueral amnesty for past political offencea und local self-govern? ment. It says, further, that while the objecta of tho liberal Republicans and the revenue reform organization are in the main tho samo, the latter organiza? tion has the special object of gathering together all parties who are in favor of these principles. It also states that ar? rangements have been mado with most of the railroad ootnpunicu to return par? sons home froo who hnve paid fnll furo in coming to tho convention. Financial and Coniinrrclitl.

INDIANA Ko KLUX -Several days ?go, we made brief mention of the doings of a gang of lawless men in Olark County, Indiana, at tho same time expressing doubt as to the truth of the reports that reached ns concerning their operations. Other information received since con? vinces us that our statements were en? tirely too mild in relation to the outrages committed in that now notorious locality, whioh begins to rival even the notable North Carolina region, made famous by the doings of tho liowrey gang. The many murders, arsons and robbe? ries committed in Clark County during the past threo years, are difficult to be accounted for. The County is one among tho oldest und most woulthy, and is inhabited by a population as intelli? gent and refined us any other County in Indiana, or probably in the West. Nevertheless, a gang of villains soem to have made their headquarters in that County, and it is certain their opera? tions, both individually and in concert, havo been of a charnater to cause great alarm among the citizens for tho safety of their lives and property. ?Such u stato of u Hui rs ought not to bo longer tolerated by tho good citizens of Clark County. They ure disgraceful alike to tho country and State, und de? mand immediate suppression by the strong ann of the luw. Much is said about thu Kn Klux in tho South, but wo doubt if, in tho entire South, wretchedly as it is misgoverned and oppressed by Radicalism, there can be found a loca? lity that, for gross outrages against law and thc lives and property of citizens, eau equal Chirk County, Iud. Tina thia is true, is owing to the fact that tho law and ordcr-loviug and observing portion of tho population (aud It is equal to thut of any other country) jeem to bo para? lyzed by the frequency and tho bold? ness of the crimes committed, und to fear to speak out or act boldly aguiust tho gang of scoundrels who disgrace the County by their violeuco and bloody deeds. Tho law in that County seems to silent HO far us great criminals aro con? cerned, while it pursues with ruthless hand tho unfortunate who muy happen to bo guilty of soiling a dram of liquor without license, or stealing a dollar's worth of food ur clothing. {Louisville Ledger. THICKS OF GOVERNMENT DETECTIVES. Tho Wheeling (W. Va.) Register, of Wednesday, denounces the practice of certain Govcruinei.it detectives, who uso every artifice to got nomo unsuspecting citizen into a trap, aud thou arrest him for tho violation of law they themselves havo arranged for and counselled. Thc Register gives) tho following case in point: A United States Internal Revenue dc tcotivo carno to this city last week to put up a job on somebody. Getting into tho contideuco of a young mau who should have known better, he nsod him as a stool-pigeon. The detective ob? tained an introduction to Thomas Fahey, of thc Fifth Ward, representing himself ns a merchant from Grafton, and ordered a bill of groceries. Ho also required, ho said, a barrel of whiskey. In order to accommodate bis customer, Mr. Fahey went to Mr. Reilly's store and purchased tho liquor merely for tho accommodation of his customer, and sent it to the ex? press office for shipment. Tho liquor was never iu Mr. Fuhey's store at all, but he udded tho cost of it in tho bill he had mailo out against his customer, not thinking that ho had committed any wrong or had done an unlawful act. This was just what tho detective in? tended ho should do, and instead of paying the bill, ho had Mr. Fahey ar? rested for violating the internal revenue law. If these detectives would look after those who wilfully and knowingly violate tho law, wo should not havo a word to say; but we havo nothing but condemnation for this sneaking wuy of doing business. On tho lGth instant, tho ex-Prince Imperial of Franco completed tho six? teenth your of his age. Ile was boru on thc luth of Muroh, 1850, and ho has now "como of ago" by the provisions of a law pasead during tho reign of tho ex Euipcror. As at present situated, it perhaps mattera Jittlo to this sou of fallen and cxilod parents whether he has reached his legal majority or not, and tho fact would possess little interest to tho public-however different might havo boen the oaso woro Napoleon still on tho throne-but for a report which has gained extensivo circulation, that it was tho purpose of the ox-Emperor to "abdicate" tho French throne upon the attainment of tho Prince to his sixteenth year, and thereafter to devote himself to conspiring for tho young man's lodg? ment on tho throne ns Emperor. This little plan has a Napoleonic flavor about it which renders its accomplishment something moro than a matter of doubt, and uenoo it would not bo strango that j wo should shortly heat that Louis Napo? leon has addressed his "lieges"-tho limited household at Chiselhurst-stat? ing that ho bas relinquished tho weighty affairs of Stato in favor of hiB son, whom ho takes tho liberty to introduce to them ns their Emperor and tho Emperor of Frnnoo. DEATH OP A MILLIONAIRE Aiiounisuoi?. The tolegrnph has mentioned the death I of tho Archbishop of Lima on the 19th ult. Tho Panama Star and Herald says: "Dying ut tho age of eighty-eight, he was tho oldest bishop and oldest arch? bishop in tho Catholic Church; tho first by reason of seniority, tho second by reuson of ago. Another moro agreeable circumstance to those directly interested is tho fact that tho luto prelato was pro? bably tho richest man in South America, his property, at tho lowest estimation, amounting to ?20,000,000. His lifo was spotless and his virtues many; his fault was a remarkable desire to increase his wealth." Tho word mayor is derived from thc Latin major, (granter,) und means se? nior alderman. BlMXHisoBKoa OF AN OLD NASHVILLE INN.-The following amuaiug reminis? cence, oonuooted with the history of a famous Nashville hostelry, that was numbered among the institutions of the past long years before the war, is told by the Franklin Review and Journal, whioh says that th? principal actors are still living: "While the old inn stood on theequaro in Nashville- it was the favorite hotel of tho traveling public. OD one occasion, among the muny guests thoru assembled, were Harvey H-, from Williamson, County, und John G-, from Maury Couuty, intimate friends, and both con? vivial in their temperament. They hud imbibed froely of spirits, and wore in that happy conditiou in which they con? sidered tho world all thoir own, and wera rather noisy in their demonstra tious. Somo of tho visitors complained of their noise, and the proprietor, after Borne persuasion, induced the gentlemen to retiro to bed. He conduoted them to their room, saw them safely lodged in bed, waited paitently until they slept, and then drew the bed which, as was then to somo extent fashionable, wus at? tached to the cdiling by cords, up nearly to the ceiling, raisiug them somo niuo or ten feet from tho floor. Everything passed oil quietly, tho gentlemen sleep? ing soundly undi 1 or 2 o'clock iu tho morning, when John G-, who was sleeping behind, called out to his friend: .Harvey, gut mo the water; the pitcher is on tho table there in the corner. ' Har? vey demurred a little, but finally yield? ing to euruost solicitations, he threw himself out of bed, iu thc pitch dark? ness of the room, to tho floor beneath. Hu was unprepared for a leap, and tho shock of tho full surprised him. In? stantly he conjectured that he hud fallen down stairs, perhaps through a trap? door, Ro ho got down on bis bauds nud knees aud commenced groping about to Sud somo meaus of ascent tu the room above. Tho delay occasioned by theso movements was torture to John, who was parched up with thirst. Ho he called ont, iu lunguugo moro profane than polite: 'Harvey, what are you doing?' Tho answer cume from tho depths below: 'John, I fell down stairs aud can't Hud thu steps td get up again.** 'Well, must I come duwn there to show you thu way up?' 'I wish yon would, John, for 1 oau't dud the steps.' Johu, thoroughly vexed at the stupidity of bis friend, sprang out of bed, wheu lo! be, too, went whirling through the air into tho distance below, and soon found him? self sprawling ou thc floor bosido his companion. 'Harvey, I foll down stans myself,' was tho first exclamation . Then the two commenced u search for the staircase, a ladder, anything to enable them to gut out of this deep abyss. Hound and round they went upon their hands and knees. They found a table, upon which they discovered a pitcher of water. Quenching their thirst, they re? sumed their search. Their clothing hud boen deposited on tho foot of thc bod, so this was beyond their reach, and the wootbor was intensely cold. They must keep moving or freeze. Tho weary round was kept up until tho gray dawn began to streak the East, when they as? certained thoir trim condition. Stealthi? ly they lowered tho bed, hastily donned their clothing, uud only remained long enough to pny their bill tu tho night clerk, wheu, mounting their horses, they made their tracks for home." NEWSPAPERS.-The Richmond Chris? tian Advocate gets off the following inte? resting artiolo on tho newspaper busi? ness. Suys the Advocate: There aro two groat troubles nbout a newspaper-ono grows out of tho tffort tu make it live; tho other, out of the effort tu pleuBO every body. The tirst trouble may be overcome, the seco ad uever. Every newspaper mau iu the world hus an ideal, as ho culis it-per? haps he meaus idul-and is always trying to reach it, and never docs, which is very strange. Some people believe that Ibero is a fortune iu every newspaper in the whole world, from Nova Zembla tu Vic? toria Land. These people aro very ho? nest, very sincere aud very iuuoecut in this belief. If they had to try the har? ness on and work in it awhilo, they wuuld Buon sing another tune. Note what follows. Tho Christian Standard, of Cincinnati, statos that although its affairs uro conducted with thu alrictcst economy, nod its subscribers number 12.U00, it has thus far cost 820,000 moro than its incomo. It says that the Ad? vance, of Chicago, willi u still huger sub? scription list, sunk about $75,00u in four years, and had nut becomo self-sustain? ing wheu tho lato fire occurred; that tho Interior, in lc88 thau two years, has used up u capital uf nearly $50,000; aud that the Standard, uf Chicago, willi 15,000 subscribers, was uot self-sustaining. * * * But all theso papers learn a lesson, und that is, that credit is the death of newspapers. Hence, if you tako theso pupers, they will let you rt:u to tho day you pay up to, and then drop you liko a hot potato - that is, unless you renew. Cash ii their lifo.

LONQ?VITY.-Will temp?rance pr ooo re long life) Parr waa an intemperate man, yet be lived over 160 years. Gan we depend on comfort and regularity in our habits? Jenkyne, who lived 169 years, was an habitual beggar, often in the greatest want of the oommon neces? saries of life. Is a good climate the euro promoter of longevity? Jane Reeve lived to the ago of 108 in the marshy County of Essex, England; Album? Muro reached 150 in the sultry interior of Ethiopia, and Drakenburg 146 in the shiveriug climate of the mountains of Norway. With auch contrasts os these, how oan we philosophize on the subject? Yet, on the point of regularity, we may hazard a question. Is it not probable that Parr might have lived longer if be had been a temperate man? Jen kyuB, if he had not been subjected to such vicissitudes? A few more instances of great longevity may be mentioned. Thoa. Carn died in London, in 1588, aged 207; an instance of longevity ex? ceeding any other on modern record, but well authenticated in the parish re? gister of yt. Leonard, Shoreditoh; a Russian died nt Ekaterinosiaf, in 1813, whose ago was between 200 and 205; and Don John Traveira de Lima died in Portugal, 1738, aged 198.

Ellis, Liver? pool, 130; Franois Bons, France, 121; James Byles, Oyster Bay, 118. John Gilley died nt Augusta, Me., aged 124. Instances of great longevity are moro frequent than ia generally supposed, and it may be supcrflous to continuo them further here.- Weekly Examiner. -?

In the councils of the Republican party is accord wain; bat among the Crispins is u, cordwainor. Tho di flore nee between a hotel-keeper and the indieoroot publisher of the Times is, that ono lots out rooms and the other lets out rumors. The reason why certain ritualistic ladies so revere their pastor is that they ure, metaphorically speaking, the ewes of tho flock, wbilo he is the Ewer. Simple us may seem tho little succinct bivalve, it lukes all tho forces of nature to make a clam; but iu England, it only takes Mr. Disraeli to make a clamor. What distinction caa bo drawn be? tween a sausuage made of sporting dog, and other things generally? Why, the former is ate sutteror and the lotter et coterea. Thc highest praiso wc oun award to tho best of oar own sex is to say that he is "all man;" but tho average woman of the period is all manner. Whioh is an argument not heretofore advanced in favor of female suffrage. As an instance of how the present Administration transcends tho traditions of our Government, it may bo observed that while our nutiourl emblem is only a fowl, the political doings at Washing? ton aro continually becoming fouler. A SHIFTY OLD MAX.-Old Mr. Jesse R. Grant, father of tho President, like his son, hus evidently an eye to "No. 1." It has leaked out that through his influ? ence a young mun named Sayers ob? tained a route agency on one of the Ken? tucky railroads, und that, in considera? tion of receiving tho benefit of that in? fluence, Sayers has been in tho habit of paying to the old gentleman a little bro? kerage, amounting to .ouo-third of his monthly compeusation. Unluckily, a relative of Sayers, impressed with the ideu that tho young man, as ho labored faithfully, ought to enjoy his salary en? tire, and not divido it with pater Grant, I so wrote to the department, supposing it WUB a condition of his appointment. This, of course, created a stir, but as Mr. Grant is tho President's father, it ls likely wc shall hoar no moro of the mat? ter. Tho Chicago Times, which seems to speak by authority, denounces tho letter of Judge David Davis-declining tho nomination for tho Presidency, and re? cently published with some credence-a forgery puro and simple. The Times declares emphatically that Judge Davis himself status that ho has written no such letter, neither to tho Chairman of tho Columbus Convention, nor to any othor person whatsoover. There is no stronger proof of the fuct that thc dis? tinguished jurist's namo is a terror to tho scaly corruptiou party, than this dirty attompt to throw him out of the race. Theru eau bo little doubt as to whore it comes from; and we doubt not the stewards at tho Ciu?innati meeting will seo to it the "foul" is noted by all interested iu a fair track. Secretary Robeson, who, at tho closo 1 of tho war, was a four-ponny lawyer iu i the wilds of New Jersey, and lacked at least a dollar ond-a-half of being worth a tinker's malediction, is now said to be worth ?2,000,000. Aud yet nobody pre? tends to know what became of the 450 vessels that have so mysteriously disap? peared from tho navy, The committco appointed to investi? gate the salo of arms to France is likely to find "more guus foi Grant" than Grant wants to havo banging about his ears upon thu very eve of opening a campaign.
