The LeRington Centennial. Wabhxnoton, ATiril "SuV^-The following are extxaota,iV>ni tho ^ojrnlfffknv centen? nial speeches: A toast to tKo President of tho United States was responded to in the usual manner by his Exoollenoy. [This, and nothing more, reached Wash? ington concerning the President's ad? dress.] Richard H. Dana, Jr., replied in a witty and happy speech to "The State of South Carolina - novor will Mas? sachusetts forget the proud response of South Carolina the very night she hoard the war-note from Lexington." Ho said that Qov. Chamberlain may veto every? thing he wishes, but ho must not veto our earnest'' respect for a voice from the Palmetto State. A letter from, Gladstone was the only response to the toast, "England and the United States." He says: "In a retro? spective view of an eventful period, my countrymen can now contemplate its in? cidents with impartiality. I do not think they should severely blame their ancestors, whose struggles to maintain the unity of tho British empire is one that must, I think, after the late great war of tho North and South, be viewed in America with some sympathy and in? dulgence We - can hardly be expected to rato very highly, the motives of those other powers,- who threw their weight into the other scale; and'who so sensibly contributed towards determining the is? sue of the War; yet, for one, I can most truly say, that whatever the motives and however painful the process, they, while seeking to do an injury, conferred upon us a great benefit', by releasing us from efforts, the continuation of which would have been anujgmfced evil. As regards the fathers rt.fffig&Orican Con? stitution themselves, L boliovo wo can and do now contemplate, their great qua? lities and achievements with an admira? tion as pure as that of American cilizens themselves, and can rejoice no less heart? ily that in the counsels' of Providence, they wero .made instruments of a pur? pose most beneficial to the world. Tho ciroumstanoes under which the United States begun their national existence, and their unexampled rapidity, of ad? vance in wealth and population, enter? prise" and power, have imposed on. their people an enormous responsibility. They will bo' tried as we shall, at tho bar of history, but on a greater scale. They will be compared with the men, not only of . other countries, but of other times. They cannot escape from the liabilities and burdens whion their greatness im? poses on them. No one desires more fervently than I do that they may be en? abled to realize the highest- hopes and anticipations that belong to their great position, in tho family of man." "The North and South." In response to a complimentary call of the Presi? dent, Gen. W. F. Bartlelt, of Massachu? setts, made a remarkable and beautiful speech. Referring fco the Southern sol? diers, he said, in conclusion: "As an American, I am OS proud of men who charged co bravely with Pickett's divi? sion, oU our lines at Gettysburg, as I am of men who bravely met and repulsed thorn there. Men' cannot always- choose. ' tho right cause; but wb6n having chosen that which their oonficlep.ee dictates, they are ready to die Tor it; if they jus? tify .not their cause, they at least ennoble themselves; and men who, fox conscience sake, fought against thoir Government nt Gettysburg, ought' easily to be forgiven by tho sons of men who, for conscience sake, fought against their Government at Lexington and Bunker Hili.

A Salt Lake Oity correspondent says that one of the ohief causes of dissatisfaction in Mor mondom is the introduction of fashiona able dress-making and the consequent creation of a taste among the Mormon women for finery. They have disco? vered that where a man has half a dozen wives, it is impossible for him'to foot'all the millinery and dress-making bills, and consequently a number of the ambi? tious have become warm advocates of monogamy, as they perceivo snob a state enables tnem to gratify the dress pro? pensity. Very few of the Mormons are able to pay for the fashionable costum? ing of five or ten wives. Before bustles and other paraphernalia were intro? duced, the saints had an easy time, as their wives dressed in the coarsest ma? terial. Let Utah be colonized by fa? shionable dress-makers, by all means. Some little excitement has been cre? ated in Brooklyn bv a scandal in fa? shionable circles, and a prospective tra gody therefrom, which is expected to take place in California. About eight months ago, a well-to-do young man, en? gaged in business as house agent in "Wil liamsburg, was married to a daughter of a New \'ork merchant. The married couple resided in a fashionable locality in Brooklyn, the sister of tho bride dwelling with them. About two weeks ngo, it was discovered that both wife and sister-in-law were about to become mo? thers, and discovery led to the flight of the son-in-law, who left suddenly for California. The indignant father of the two ladies has sworn vengeance, and has started in pursuit, armed with a black valise and two formidable looking re? volvers. The sequel is anxiously looked for. An Important Judicial Decision.?An Important decision was rendered by Judge Pearson, at Harrisburg, Pa., on Wednesday, declaring tho tax on coal, imposed bj the Act of the Pennsylvania Legislature of 1874, unconstitutional. The question involves not less than $4.50,000 of revenue, at the lowest esti? mate, and bv some it is calculated as high as SI .000,000. Should theSuprome Court sustain the Court below, an extra session of the Legislature may become a necessity. Under the new Constitution an extra session is confined strictly to the consideration of such questions as the Governor specifies in his proclama? tion, and he would, of course, limit their action to financial measures. The tax was decided to be unconstitutional under the clause of the new Constitution which requires taxes to be imposed uniformly upon the same class of property. A tow-boat attached to a barge suc? ceeded in smashing its way through the ice in the Hudson, from Albany to New York, on Wednesday, thus opening the river for the season. One of the steamers accomplished, also, the feat in the oppo? site direction. It is just 120 days since the river was closed for the season?the longest period known since the winter of 1842-43, when the stream was ice? bound for 13(1 days. At Cedar Keys, Fla., a real pirate has appeared?an aged Spaniard, who calls himself Bios de Ralfo. He once assisted in tho burial of a large amount of trea? sure at Cedar Keys, which he has re? turned to unearth, and has actually suc? ceeded in discovering an Iron box, con? taining many precious stones and old Spanish coins, of an estimated value of $10,000. At a meeting of ex-Confederate soldiers in Memphis, Tenn., to arrunge for de? corating the graves of Confederates on May 22, a resolution was unanimously adopted asking all ex-Federal soldiers to participate in the ceremonies. Among those present at tho meeting wero ex President Jefferson Davis, ex-Governor Isham G. Harris and Generals Colton, Green and Gordon. Very Compromising.?The banks all over the country are compromising with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for their failure to have stamps affixed to checks. The amounts paid range from $25 to $500. Tho Commissioner does not desire to bring suits against the banks if he can avoid it. [Washington Telegram to Baltimore Sun. Greene, the defeated Republican can? didate for Governor in Connecticut, not long ago, fired 100 guns in honor of Grant's Louisiana policy. It was a fatal waste of powder to him, and he never thinks of it now without regretting that he didn't touch it all off in a sigle pile, with Grant and his Louisiana policy on top of it. Aaron Alpeoriu Bradley, dubbed by the Savannahians the "Wahoo of the Ogee choo," is again in Charleston jail, to answer a charge of perjury, upon an affi? davit of Trial Justice Levy. Bradley has scarcely been at large two weeks sinco his incarceration for destroying a record of ex-Trial Justice Dover's office. They were, perhaps, pretty full at bed? time, and one of them was sure he could never sleep without a window open. Bat they couldn't open the window, so they broko out two panes of glass, had {ilenty of fresh air and slept splendidly, n the morning they found they had broken two glasses in the bookcase. "Why is it," asksVa religions journal, "that Brooklyn, like Sodom, is not over? whelmed by a storm of fire and brim? stone?" She would be, it is presumed, if she could find another city wicked enough to play Catharine to her Petru ohio?that, is to say, Gomorrah to her Sodom.
