The Detroit Journal of Commerce - wliat a inisnotner for a paper whinh favors humporing oommerce by tariñs - denies that tlie ex Ilcv.

We had the infotraation on whieh we basod the reiuaik from a entkmati of high staiidiug and whone ve raeity we could rot ijueslioa Aguiu, our cotenifioiary says : 'In the SCCOOd place, he is not npen to the epitiict npplied to Hev. Mr. Blanchard. He is ■) (ar from bclng a 'politica] prlest,1 tliat hc is nota clergyniau at all He hus uot tlie care of a Cluistiuu tongrcgatiou, and never had." Nuw, f we me not mistaken, this aame Mr. Sticdbins was ouce n Univer■a)it clergyman aud had charge of a Universa ist congrega tion, - sometimos suppoaed to be a "Christian congregatiou," thougb we hope tliat we ore mis taken as to his eupposed eonnection therewith, nnd if so sliail cheerfully do tbat worthy denominatioo tho justice to nmke the correcíion. Ab to another p irt'uu of Lié "carear," however, u-e are not midaken. He waa wont to perumbulate this State sis a minifter of the Spiritual faith, - not Christian, our cotempnrary wil! peihcps gay, - prefixed tho "Rev." to his naine, and for a year, more or lesa, ministered (o a congregation 'inthis city. Is the Journal of Commerce as eertain aud a3 correot in asserting that he is not the ealaried leciurer of the "Detroit Manufacturera' Associatioo," as whcn it asserta that he was never k clergyrnan? li 80, it proves just nothing and he may be drawing that 2,000 Bala'y "for a' of tuut." - The Journal of Commerce also protests agaJDBt cur iutimatioo tbat it is in favor of "chainirg comraerce,:' and adds : "There never was any joorna! more in favor of extending towurd it the utmost ex tent of freedom. lu fuct it is our ospeeiul interest and duty. We have alwajs adocated, for instani'e, tLe abolition, as far ss posi-ible, of the onerOU8 systetn of iuternal revenue taxatiou." Favoring corumeroe, wiih a vengeince ! "Abolish iutdinal revenue taxation," and inórense the tariff. Give tho homo mauufaeturer the coatrol of the market, close up oui' ports of entry, aod diive every sliip from the high seas. That's our cotempniary'g ideas of favoriog cotr merce; tiiat's its idea of "exteudii g loward it the utmost ex.teut of fieodoin,'1 - a supposed very etrong expressiou. Suoh commeree could be oarried on all day and all the year and all tUe ages ia a half bushel. "Tuke off the internal revenue taxe,s" and doublé up the tariff, "and our word for it, the American manufacturer, from hi& superior skül, will aud can compete with all others on earth." "Iuternail revonue : tases" are a mojern inven (ion, protection is the same okl hobby ; it will hardly do to make the one tbc base of a , claim for the othur. Try agaio. Blti.kh's friends had a meetiug at Wsshingtor, on Salurday evtning last, at whicti it was seriously proposed to placo hira in noniiriatiou f the Presi'■ dency.

"No news" is the phrase whrcb salutes the ears oí expectant and excited friends each morning, s their last utterance at night, and is the bnrden ot their dreams. The owncrs and agenta siill speak hopefnlly, but with falhets aud mothers and brothers and sisters, whose loved ones are enrolled on their paesengT lists, it is comming nearer and nearer to the hope that borders on despair. i - i The House Commitlee, and we don't know but the House (self, has come to the sage conclusión that it has no jurisdiction over, and can do nothing with, ex tnember8 of Cungrcsg reported as having sold their birthrigbt for a mess of pottage, that is eadetsbipH for filthy lucre.

Light is breaking. - This decisión will be a relief to Diuacitf, und had it como carlier might have saved hia long and damaging letter, Botii branches of the Minnesota Logislature have pasíed a joint resolution amendiug the constitution and giving the ballot to woman.

In the Ohio House, on Monday, a bilí to subniit the question of woman suffrage to a voto of the romen, was loBt by a vote of 41 to 30. It was a capital hit by Sonator Casserly on Friday laat, when repelling a t.aunt of tho numcrical weakness of the Democracy in the Senate, he said : "Ele thankei Gon none of theiu had been elevated to tl?e Benate by bayoneta over the heads of u down-trodden and oppressed peoplc." A dozen or eo Kadical cnrpot-baggers, tlio mero creations of military satrap?, raust have een stars about that time. Tuk Snpreme court of Ohio, on Tucsday, granted a writ of error in the Cincinuati Bible cae, setting the same down for hearing on tho seoond Tuesilay of Decímber.
