The undersigned will npnre no effort to

Id the present distracted state of the country
and after the interruption of the usual channels
of thought we especially need n Distiict
paper which shall impart correct information,

restore again thp lines of communication, give
expression to public sentiment, and endeavor
to impart unity and harmony to our counsels.
Business is reviving, and onterpr ee is seeking
new objeclR for its exercise, but these all de^pend
upon puhlio confidence. To restore
this we need the "dry light" of correct information,
to dispnl the many unfounded rumors
and false impressions which impair publio
credit, nnd prostrate public spirit and the general
business.

The New York Church ,Fourual says it speak*
by authority in announcing that the course to
be pursueij in t})e approaching General Convention
of the Episcopal Church will be to
call the full roll of the dioceses, and "if'any

choose to be present, they will only need to
iimiu in mci-r names ana incir credentials, nn
swer to their nnm<-s, and lake their seats, as

tion of any sort whatever."
Tiie BusIod Jourxc/'tluiikB if the views of
Bishop Wilmir, of the diocer.c of Alabama
prevail, no Southern delegates will present
themselves for admission, even on these easy
terms In a rescript, of June 20, to the.clergy
nnd laity of his diycese, he tells them that
"the lapse of the Confederate Government
docs not necessarily involve the disorganization
of the Genprnl Council of the Church
within the limits of tLat Govcrnrae/it." Two
church organizations ma}' cxwt under one government,
as is the case iu Great Britain, where
the'Church in England and the Church in
Scotland exist as distinct organizations under
one civil government Therefore -no chnrge
of schism ciin justly lie ngainst the XJImr^h in
the Southern States, in caau she should see fit
to perpetuate herself through a separate organizatioii.
Whether she shall do so remains
to be dccidcd by ecclesiastical authority.

NORTHERN POLITICAL CONVENTIONS.
While President Johnson, through tlie Provisonnl
Governor*, is endeavoring to quietly
yet efTvCtunlly readjust tho machinery of the
respective State Ooverntnents in the Efouth,
.lie politionns in the Northern States are holding
their conventions and. quarreling over the
plaiforms which they shall erect for thair oan
didatfs to stand upon. The policy of the
President is. in most instances, working harinon
ously, and bringing tibout the desired
results ; but tho politicians in the Nortli are
not all so fortunate in (heir schemes here. -.
The radical wiDg of the Republican party,
which eat out under Chief Justice Chasv in a |
vuiu iiivuiiiio uu>. uuijr ku cuuirm me I'reaident
and the reorjfanization of the Southern
States, but also the politic* ol the North, are
being *ndly defeated in almost every instance, j
I The> have befcn unable to ttvretve the PresiI
dent from his fixed policy, and in all '.be con- j
ventions yet held they have only, found two i
which 'would givfe tlieir radical resolves even
the respect of consideration, and only one that I
would in the least endorse them.
The Republicans of Ohio led off in holding
their State Convention. It convened just at (
the time when the agitation in regard to negro j
suffrage ?*ns at its height, and when it was
generally supposed (he Radicals had euflli-ient
strength to dir. ct the action of the party in
many of the States. But the returned vete
rans oMaiued control of that gathering, and
kept the radicals in the background. They
secured their own platform and nominated one
of their own leaders fo?- Gpvernor. The Jacobins
then dutig to the nominee?Gtu. Cvx
?declaring that be was sound oo their creed,
ami was all the platform they desired. But
lie soon cams out .and repudiated them, and in
a clear and logically prepared letter proved
that their doctrines were untenable and their
dogmas a mere bundle of heresies. Vermont
was the next State to hold its convention, an'l
there the docirinci of the Chafe fraction were
passed over in sileuce. Thnt'State has always
j been considered one of Hie most radical in the
Union, and wus never known to give tilt;
Democrats sufficient ahow lo furnisli jevidtneo,
that there were any such being* in the State.
The policy of Mr, Johnson was thoroughly
endorsed, and the people of the State pleuged
to its support in iie execution. Th* ltepubli
cans of New Jersey were the next to hold
thoir Stale Convention, and there, after extra
ordinary efforts, resolutions wero iniroduc?d
containing a long- rigmarole about the equality
ol the red men, black men, and white men,
declaring that the Slacks of the South were
i ... ?
cuiiucu iv iuvc. ojuv iiu person mui me mover I
of lliese resolutions took the trouble to ad-?
vacate tbem. The result was that they were
unceremoniously kick?<] under I lie table, not
receiving as mnuy voles as thnre were resolu
lions, while, on the olher baud, the convenlion
was almost a unit in egdoraing, in the
most emphatic manner, the course of the President.'
The failure in these three States was not
very encouraging to the Chase party, and
indications were every where rannifost of their
backing down io the priucipal central Stales.

There ia, however, but little indicution
that the radical doctrines will fare any better
there limn they did in Ohio and New Jeney,
which border on that State. Tl?e
endorsement of llie pacification policy
of the President may be considered as certain.
This universal course of ihe Northern conven
tionc, and the general disposition of the dominant
party here not to force upon llie Southorh

THE WHOLE STOEY OF THE HARRISBURROUGHS
TRIAL,
The trial of a j-oung woman in the cap'tal
of the cauntry for shooting her lover, contains
many points of interest. It is not tho old story
of love and seduction. II is a case, thoucrli
a'somewhat aggravated one we admit, of mod- i
em flirlaiioii. Mnny yeura ago, away out (
west, there was a little Irish girl, Mary Harris
by name; she wu pretty, black eyed and
r^ruish. She was poor; her parents were
dead, and she lived with some .relatives who ! j
treated her kindly, and gave her such ad^an- , '
tvges as they wero able. Preseutly she met a 5
young rann who luok a fancy to her fresh '
morning fy<e and short dresses, and ingrntia- I I
te himself into the good opinion of the old j"4
people, and vi?ited her often as a young man '
of two or three and twenty might visit a ehild j
ui twelve. no canea ner ins roBC buu ana hi*
playmate, and his pusa in l>oota, we dare say.
They toqk lenjg walks together, and sat l>y the I
river side whole 'day*, and read faiiy-tales. 1
And so thev parted for a time.
But our little Irish girl is poor, and is grow 1
ing to womanhood, and has to do something
for a living. She is scot, therefore, to a neighboring
village, nud becomes salesmaid for a 1
jolly old ?hopke?per, who, afiera while, is
very fond of her, for she is young, honest ond
handsome One day she gets a letter. The
young man with the browu moustache has not
forgotten her, and wants still to be her dear,
dear friend. And indeed he is that, for hid
bright, hearty Irish girl has n warm heart of

an air about him ; she has no education to
speak of, but keen appreciation and ambition.
They write each' other a great many letters,

avowal, tinailj love This must have been a
very sad case of love, too, for. as the little girl
^>rogre?8c?, with ber oi.ward march to womanhood,
the little and buoyant spirit deepen* in- '
to seulitiu tit and gradually becoiucs intense.
She loves her lover to distraction, and they
meet once more, and she is his darling little
Mollie.
At ibis time Murv Harri* must have been
what ihe young gentlemen call a killing little
fascinator. She was just past seveutten?a ;

naivetl^g All the larks around town were half
| mud about her. She wore a bit' of a gray
I cloak and a gipsey hat. She wan wrapped up
iu her old bachelor, as she called liini, and
would follow him to the end of the world.
She snid bo, at least, and be believed h?*r, and
begun to practise upou ln>r love and trust.
But Irish virtue is an article of stubborn qnal
ny, ana oiten acnes me Heroes', passion, in
this case, at any rale, it did eo. .The' lover,
failing to carry hid point, gradually grew tired
of his little Mollie, after a flirtation of five T
six years. Men very often, we fear, weary of
their little Mollies through such a long seigc
of ! vo, and if they have no mind to 'muk*
them their little wives, mid nro not able to
make them anything else, are auitc ready to
give them over. The old bachelor, new (jetting
into his thirties, was tired ; he wanted to
marry somebody else ; he dtd not want to
marry his little Mollie, so I19 gave her over.
Vlie gave htr-over, gradually, however, by
neglect and absence, and finally imirned another
woman, and bow can you olfcnd a woman
who luve3 you, more mortally than bjmarrying
soma one else }
She went to Washington. _ She sought the
department in which h* was employed. It was
a dull, cold Juuuary afternoon. The janitor
at the door showed her up tlie- flight ui stone

THE OA?kl
The Charleston Courier reminds its readers
of the ontU before the election and what oath
is necessary. "We give the following from
that paper, and repeat the counsel to those
desirious of voting to take the amnesty oath,
and make themselves sure of the right of snf
frnge, if they deem that privilege desirable :
'I, , solemnly that I hove care
Fully rend the Anfnestv Proclamation issued
oy Atiqrew juiiuson, rresident or Ilia United '
States of America, on May 29, .1806, and that
I am not cxccntea from Lho benefits of that
proclamation by ony one of the fourteen exceptions
therein made, except
"Sworn to," Ac.
"I, ? , of the County of ? , and
State of , do solemnly -- - -, in the
presence of Almighty God, that 1 will hereafter
faithfully support and defend the Constitution

the States thereunder, and that I will in like
manner, abide by and faithfully support all

during the existing rebellion -with referent to ]
the emaneipation of slaves. So help me God.
"Sworn to," &c.
corresponqexck.
Gen. Hatch: Is it necessary, in order to
qualify a voter, thnt he should have taken
both of the within oaths? Many are umler
the impression thnt the second is sufficient,
although I lie $20,<>00 clause deprives nny of
the right to vole except by procuring a special
pardon. Respectfully,
W. T. BENNETT.
upon which Ucn. Hatch endorsed the following
reply:
"Respeeifully relumed. Tlii? form of oath
is only ufted hy those applying for pardon."
This official correspondence, wliich lias been
kindly furnished us hy tf?e Provost Marshal,
Maj. Steuhen, who directed tlie inquiries at
our suggestion, will definiielv settle the Inst
question which can he raised on to Ihe efficaoy
of the amnesty oaih in establishing the light
of suffrnge to each individual, and leads to Ihe
following conclusions:
l?t That the oath of amnesty, as prescribed
by President Johnson, in bis proclamation of
May 29, 18G5. of it<elf re eutablifches the right
of citizenship, and entitles the party taking it
to vote, provided he docs not come within any
of the fourteen exceptions therein named.
2*1. That said oath entitles those who are
within the excepted clnsics to vote, provided
they have received special pardons from the
President.
3d. That for the parpoee of obtaining.such
pardon, it is necessary f<?r the applicant to take
both the oaths above indicated..
4tll. That the first Oiltli in nnltr nnn?oo??.?
7? ? J
to parties who nro appltcunts for special pardon.
Blh. Thnf, in any event it is always necessary
that a party shall be a legal voter under
the Constitution as it stood prior tn the secession
of the Stute, before he will be untitled to
vote at the ensuing election.
Bhaziman Emigration,?Evidences are daily
multipl3-iug going to prove that u large number
of persona tli>onghout the South, who have
participated in the rebellion, design expatrin
ling themselves for ffie purpose of finding a
home in Brazil. Chief among the promoters
of this Brazilian emigration scheme irt commander
M. I'. Maury, who, it is said, has
p -oourcd from the Emperor of Brazil, the grant
of one thousand i:*<res of land to eaeli emigrant.
In one respect Brazil afford* at least
one feature congenial to ill* views, of Southern
people?thut in slavery. But lcl?uff examine
the Imais upon which die hopes of tho?e who
n mi hi expatriate i ueinseivcs is loundetf. The
(iovernment of Br.i7.il is a monarchical and
<]i-3|>nli*c one. The laws lliat support the in
Hliiuliun of sin very being the will of-the ruler
inu3* any day l>e changed, and slavery disappear
from Brazil ad it has from the other South
Anr-riea nations, besides the negroes in Brozil
arc not like the negrock in thu United States.
If he is free he lias just as mau}' rights ad the
European ; indeed, one of tit ministers of the
Imperial Government* at the present time, is a
nefjro, if we are rightly informed.
Besides, suppose the Emperor was to grant a
thousand nercs of land (o eaufc emigrant, could
not the gifi be revoked very eoon if ttie sovereign
doi-ircd it ! By what tenure would propel
ty be held under such a grant? Could tfiero
be a reasonable assurance of security in the
posMirsion of real estate bo donated? Would
there be any difference it; a country, other
thing*, being the tame, when the negroes, if
free, have equal chances. But there is a difference
between Brazil and the .United States?a
marked difference. Here the people partici?
1'uw ui mu government, 01 tue country, there
they ?io not; here the will of a majority of the
people ie supreme, there the dictation of one
innn controls.
The advantages of Government. location,
climate, and everything connected with a successful
prosecution of agricultural pursuits, is
greatly in faw>r.of the United States. Wliy,
then,'do men wish to render their ioonditiou
worse f I'erbaps their feeling of dislike to the
successful Government of the United States
has warped thoir belter judgment, It ut li&ve
they n right to impose burdens upon their pos
leniyl llave they a right to "make a bed of
thorns'1 for generation* yut unborn I We have
an idea that we have a country onl y partially
developed, bat which, when fully developed
by induatfy and enterprise, will be far superior
in every point of view to Brazil.?Afcm?
