AN MmREPRETSIBLE CoNnnLicr is raging in

ners. It appears now that, for soine

reason or other, the Governor of the State,

Swann, wishes the removal of these Com- |
missioners and new men appointed; and the |
Radical party tear that the step is nearly per- |
Jiminary to the admission of the ex-rebels to

vote, which would secure the overthrow of the |
Radicals. We are told by the Ainerican|
Press that, |

Against this alleged design ‘‘ the Boys in
Blue.” said chietly to be made ap of Union
soldiers of the late war, have, as it appears,
organized in every ward of the city under one
of their old army officers, to the number of
two or three thousand armed men, with the
avowed purpose of preventing the removal of
the Police Commissioners, or of laying the}
city in ashes, This is the shape in which the!
conflict stood yesterday, the Mayor being on
the side of the ** Boys in Blue,” and President
Johnson being supposed to sympathize with
the Governor in the exercise of his lawful au-
thority to remove the Police Commissioners.
Forney, violently urgiug the Radicals toa
contlict of arms, appeals to Peansylyania and
the North to prepare for a rescue; the Go-
yernor on the other side, is urged by thousand |
of petitioners to bring the attuir to a crisis in}
Baltimore; and thus the most intense excite-
ment reigns over the city and the State, and

Wuo sour or turm wenr.-— Among the
pissengers lostinthe Zrening Star were more
than a hundred unfortunate women of the flash
persuasion, who were on their way to spend
the winter in the employment of procuresses
trom New Orleans. They included repre-
sentatives from nearly all the first class houses
of that kindin the metropolis. They all went
down. Many of therm were respectably con-
nected. A city banker, on learning that his
wayward daughter was among the lost, elap-
ped his hands in sorrowful gratitude, and ex-
claimed, ** Thank God, my daughter, the pride
ot heart, is beyond this world’s shame.”—
Also, includedin this flock of frail fair ones
were two highly accomplished young ladies,
one the daughter of a minister of the gospel in
Western Pennsylvania, and the other a daugh-
ter of a clergyman of this city. The families
of several of our New York merchants were
ulao represented among these beautiful fennle
ruins, Indeed, Latn told that there was hardly
one of these fallen women who could not point
to highly respectable connections in this and
other cities.

Taxation 1x THR Unirep States. — The
manner in which taxation bears on the Rail-
ways in the United States is thus stated —
“The axles of an engine ace first taxed in the
form of pig iron; then as bariron; then, agtin
when wrought into the form ofan axle, as a
forging; then when fitted to the whicels, six
percent. more as a manufacture: and again
the fifth time, when affixed to the engine,
another six per cent. as apart of the coniplet-
ed inachine, the tux itselfin each case being
reckoned as a part the increased value on the
next successive assessment. Then, a tux of
24 per cent. is imposed upon the gross earn-
ings of that machine, and again 6 per cent.
more on net earnings or dividend, and finally
to complete the enumeration, the engine is
again assessed as the corporate valuation on
which the Company pays taxes to the com-
ionwealth.” That is assuredly reducing the
system of taxation to a science.

A vitrLe Girt For sate.—It is etatod in
the Minerve that an old Scotchman of the
name of Jos. Linklates, lately arrived in
Montreal from Quebec, has been arrested be-
enuse offering for sale at the Bonscourse
Market a little girl aged six years. He said
that she was his grandchild through his son,
that he wanted to get rid of her in order to
proceed to the States, and he offered her for
8100 cash. ‘The child has been “sent to the
St, Andrew's Home, and the unnatural granc-
parent put under arrest to appear betue a

HALIFAX TWENTY YEARS AGO.

To those among our fellow subjects who

in the matter of Public improvements, we
commend the facts farnished by the Halifax
Erpress in an article which we haye condens-

PRESBYTERY OF P. E. ISLAND.

Tunis Presbytery inet on Tuesday, the 23rd
instant, in the Free Chureh, Charlottetown.
There were present: Revs. Messrs. Crawford,
Moderator, Campbell, Allan, I. Murray, Mun-
roe, Sutherland, Fraser, McNeill, Laird, Ross,
Vrame, Falconer, J. D. Murray, MacDougall,
and D, W. Cameron, Ministers; and Messrs.
Robert Robertson, John Clark, and W. IL.
Ilyde, ciders. ‘The Rey. Mr. Reddick, of
West River, Pictou, and Rey. Mr. Simpson,
of the Halifax Presbytery, being present, were
invited to seats as corresponding members.
After the reading and sustaining of the Minis-
ters of last sederunt, the Presbytery. proceeded
to a consideration ofthe matter, regarding
which the Rey. Mr. Crawford and his session
were cited to appear at this meeting, when the
Moderator, being an interested party vacated
the chair, which was taken ly Mr. Campbell.
After a protracted discussion, and a full in-
vestigation of the whole case, the following
finding was agreed to:—'That the Presbytery,
having heard Mr. Crawford in reterence to his
connection with the Souris ‘Tea Party, are
pleased to learn that he had no part in the
arrangements which led to proceedings deemed
so objectionable, and that he distinctly dis-
approves of all such proceedings; but regret
that he did not take suitable measures at once
to free himself from all public responsibility
in the promiscuous dancing complained of.
Mr. Munro dissented from this decision as not
condemming the use of all such means as tea
parties for raising money for religious pur-
poses. Attention having been called to a
communication in the public press from A.
Leslie, Esq., in which he admits himself to be
a member of the Bay Fortune session, con-
taining sentiments and language inconsistent
with lus position in the Christian Chureh, the
Presbytery, atter deliberation, agreed to direct
ssion to deal with Mr. Leslie tecording
to the rules of the Church, and that in the
meantime he be suspended, and'fs héreby sus-
pended from the office of the eldership, as also
from the membership of our Church. Messrs.
J. Murray and A. Falconer were appointed
assessors with the Bay Fortune ion in this
matter.

Papers having been read from Tryon sock-
ing for a moderation in a call to one tobe
their pastor, it was resolved from the informal
character of these papers to remit them to the
parties, with instructions that they bring them
up in a formal manner and in conjunction with
the Bonshaw section of the congregation.

‘the Rev.”Mrx. Sutherland placed in the
hands of Presbytery the demission of his con-
gregation ‘with the view of devoting himself
tothe work of an evangelist in the Home, or
the work ofa missionary in the Foreign, field.”

Mr. Bright, who is now par eacellence,
the apostle of Reform in Mngland, has
been making big speeches to big mect-
ings in Leeds and other places. The

‘Times very good
and taxation comparatively light, and not
feeling the shoe pinch, the English peo-
ple pursued their career of commercial
prosperity with, for them, wonderfully lit-
tle grumbling. | However, though silent,
they were far from being contented, see-
ing a very moderate measure of Reform
defeated, and hearing themselves abused
for having the presumption to ask for
political power, the masses have arisen in
their might and have demanded it. The
manner in which the Reform agitation,
now going on in Mngland, is conducted,
makes ui proud of belonging to the great
English nation. There we see meet-
ings whose numbers are to be counted by
hundreds of thousands, passing off as
quietly, and with as little outrage, as
common village gatherings. We see a
people who feel that they have been long
unjustly treated by the privileged classes
above them,quietly,calmly and even good
humouredly demanding a right which
has only the other day been most untuir-
ly and as they consider insultingly denied

A Local Science Congress has been held
in Manchester, This is au assemble of
some of the best and most benevolent men
of the kingdom, met to consider the social
state of the people, and to devise means ol
preventing and Jessening those evils, with
which every society, whether great or
sniull, is to a greater or less degree cursed,
The aim of Society will be best seen by
mentioning afew of the subjects at the
late Congress, among the most important
were—the public health, the national debt,
national education, workhouse manage-
ment, extradition of eriminals, and elec-
torial corruption, One, strong minded
woman, a Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker, appear-
ed at the Congvess in the Bloomer costume,
about which we have heard very little of
late, and very eloquently denounced ** the
inconvenience and eyils arising from
Woman's dress at present worn.” She de-
claves, taught by experience no doubt,
“that woman is overworked, and her
vitality exhausted by carrying around her
adry goods store.” Wil, who will say
that there is not some sense in the lady
doctor's phillipie agai petticonts, and
that one of the social reforms of the next
century, will not be the substitution of the
rments we haye mentioned for some-

There is at present a dispute between
England and Spain, respecting a ship
ealed the “ Tornado,” which the Spanish
authorities have seized. It appears that
the * Tornado” people were attempting to
play the little Alabama game. Though
her papers shewed that she was bound for
Rio Janiero, she somehow or other drifted
so far ont of her track as the Para Islands,
She was attended by two smaller vessels,
which, it is alleged, were loaded with
Armstrong guns, and other munitions of
war. ‘The Governor of the Para Islands
very naturally looked with suspicion on
the doings of these vessels bound for South
America, Ife forbade the transfer of the
armament in any port under his authority.
The Spanish authorities on being informed
of the proceedings of the wandering navi-
gators, ordered the “Tornado” and her
erew to be seized and taken to Spain,
which was accordingly done. It seqns
that the Spanish authorities ave not
treated the crew of the Tornado” in the
politest manner in the world, ‘They of
course enmplained to the Government of
England, and the upshot of the matter

will be, that after a considerable amount

Britain. Her commander will, we hope,
brush up his navigation, and when next
he sails for Brazil, will not find himself
drifling among the Fara Islands, Un-
|charitable people on this side the water,
will he very apt to imagine that the ‘Tor-
nao” was intended for no good purpose,
and that if the Armstrong guns and other
little matters had been transferred to her
decks and hold, she would, under the flag
of the Chilian Republic, play the mischief
among the Spanish merchantmen, Our
opinion is, that: when British subjects try
that little game—which in fret is no better
than piracy—they ought to be left to their
fate.
